Based on the Newton’s Second Law of motion,

LESSON 5 The effects of a force Definition of force Force is defined as anything that changes the state of rest or motion of an object moving in a straight line.

we obtain

Force is a vector quantity which has both direction and magnitude

m a

α F m

a =kF m

The S.I. unit for force is N or kg m s-2

F = kma

Force is measured by using a Spring Balance

In S.I. units , the definition of a force of 1 N is given as the amount of force which is applied on a mass of 1 kg and which causes it to experience an acceleration of 1 ms-2 Thus, 1 N = k ( 1 kg ) ( 1 ms-2 ) Thus k=1

The effects of a force A force can • move a stationary object • stop a moving object • accelerate a moving object • decelerate a moving object • change the direction of a moving object • alters the size of the object • alters the shape of the object

Therefore

F = ma Where F = net force m = mass a=

acceleration

NEWTON ‘S LAWS OF MOTION Newton’s First Law : An object will remain at rest or continue with a constant speed in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force. Newton’s Second Law : The acceleration of a body ,a, is directly proportional to the net force acting on it, F , and inversely proportional to its mass, m.

Example 1

Newton’s Third Law : For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Two forces act horizontally to a block of wood of mass 4 kg as shown in figure above. What is the acceleration and the direction of motion of the block.

The relationship between the acceleration,a ,the net force ,F and the mass , m. 32

Solution

Example 2 An object of mass 2 kg is pulled on the floor by a force of 5 N and having a constant velocity. (a) What is the frictional force between the object and the floor. (b) Calculate the acceleration of the object if the object is pulled by a 17 N force?

Example 4 When traveling at 120 km h-1 a car has to overcome a drag force due to air resistance of 900 N. If the car has a mass of 1000 kg, determine the average force that the motor needs to apply if it is to accelerate at 5.0 ms2 .

Example 3 A bus of mass 2 000 kg travels with a uniform velocity 40 ms-1 for a distance 2500 m before it comes to rest. Calculate (a) the average deceleration of the bus (b) the average force applied by the brakes to bring the bus to a standstill Solution
