Sample Problem You have been hired to measure the coefficients of friction for the newly discovered substance jelloium. Today you will measure the coefficient of kinetic friction for jelloium sliding on steel. To do so, you pull a 200 g chunk of jelloium across a horizontal steel table with a constant string tension of 1.00 N. A motion detector records the motion and displays the graph shown. What is the value of µ k for jelloium on steel?

Velocity and acceleration plots: Notice that the acceleration is always down the slide and that, even at the turnaround point, the block is always motion although there is an infinitesimal point at which the velocity of the block passes through zero. At this moment, depending on the static friction the block may become stuck. Physics 207: Lecture 8, Pg 19 Friction in a viscous medium Drag Force Quantified With a cross sectional area, A (in m 2 ), coefficient of drag of 1.0 (most objects), ρ sea-level density of air, and velocity, v (m/s), the drag force is: D = ½ C ρ A v 2 c A v 2 in Newtons c = ¼ kg/m 3 In falling, when D = mg, then at terminal velocity Example: Bicycling at 10 m/s (22 m.p.h.), with projected area of 0.5 m 2 exerts ~30 Newtons Minimizing drag is often important Physics 207: Lecture 8, Pg 20 Page 10
Fish Schools Physics 207: Lecture 8, Pg 21 By swimming in synchrony in the correct formation, each fish can take advantage of moving water created by the fish in front to reduce drag. Fish swimming in schools can swim 2 to 6 times as long as individual fish. Physics 207: Lecture 8, Pg 22 Page 11

Newton s Laws Law 1: An object subject to no external forces is at rest or moves with a constant velocity if viewed from an inertial reference frame. Law 2: For any object, F NET = Σ F = ma Law 3: Forces occur in pairs: F A, B = - F B, A (For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.) Read: Force of B on A Physics 207: Lecture 8, Pg 25 Newton s Third Law: If object 1 exerts a force on object 2 (F 2,1 ) then object 2 exerts an equal and opposite force on object 1 (F 1,2 ) F 1,2 = -F 2,1 For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction IMPORTANT: Newton s 3 rd law concerns force pairs which act on two different objects (not on the same object)! Physics 207: Lecture 8, Pg 26 Page 13
Gravity Newton also recognized that gravity is an attractive, long-range force between any two objects. When two objects with masses m 1 and m 2 are separated by distance r, each object pulls on the other with a force given by Newton s law of gravity, as follows: Physics 207: Lecture 8, Pg 27 Cavendish s Experiment F = m 1 g = G m 1 m 2 / r 2 g = G m 2 / r 2 If we know big G, little g and r then will can find m 2 the mass of the Earth!!!

The flying bird in the cage You have a bird in a cage that is resting on your upward turned palm. The cage is completely sealed to the outside (at least while we run the experiment!). The bird is initially sitting at rest on the perch. It decides it needs a bit of exercise and starts to fly. Question: How does the weight of the cage plus bird vary when the bird is flying up, when the bird is flying sideways, when the bird is flying down? Follow up question: So, what is holding the airplane up in the sky?

Exercise 2 Newton s Third Law Solution By Newton s third law these two forces form an interaction pair which are equal (but in opposing directions). Thus the forces are the same However, by Newton s second law F net = ma or a = F net /m.
