Forces in history

Page 4: MOVEMENT AND CHANGE Newton’s third law of motion Acceleration due to gravity.

Greek view

In order to keep something moving a force is required.

We now know this idea is wrong, but it fitted the facts of the ancient Greek world!

Sir Isaac Newton 1642-1727

'I don't know what I may seem to the world, but, as to myself, I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.'

Newton’s third law of motion

Page 12: MOVEMENT AND CHANGE Newton’s third law of motion Acceleration due to gravity.

Newton’s third law of motion

Newton noticed that forces were always in pairs and that the two forces were always equal in size but opposite in direction. He called the two forces action and reaction.

Page 13: MOVEMENT AND CHANGE Newton’s third law of motion Acceleration due to gravity.

Newton’s third law of motion

Newton’s Third Law of Motion is:

The action force and reaction force are equal and opposite.

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

Newton’s third law of motion

In a tug of war, if the rope is not moving what can you say about the forces exerted by the two teams?

Page 15: MOVEMENT AND CHANGE Newton’s third law of motion Acceleration due to gravity.

Newton’s third law of motion

In a tug of war, if the rope is not moving what can you say about the forces exerted by the two teams?

The forces involved must be equal and opposite!

Newton’s third law of motion

Your elbow rests on the table. What is the pair of forces here?

Page 17: MOVEMENT AND CHANGE Newton’s third law of motion Acceleration due to gravity.

Newton’s third law of motion

Your elbow rests on the table. What is the pair of forces here?

The force of the elbow on the table (downwards)

The force of the table on the elbow (upwards)

=

Newton’s third law of motion

What are the forces when you start to walk or run?

Page 19: MOVEMENT AND CHANGE Newton’s third law of motion Acceleration due to gravity.

Newton’s third law of motion

What are the forces when you start to walk or run?

The force of your feet on the Earth (moves the Earth slightly backwards)

The force of Earth on your feet (moves you forward)

=

Yes! The Earth moves backwards slightly as you move forwards

Movement in a straight line

Lorry moves forward at a constant velocity

Page 22: MOVEMENT AND CHANGE Newton’s third law of motion Acceleration due to gravity.

Movement in a straight line

Lorry moves forward at a constant velocity

Propulsive force pushes the lorry forwards

Page 23: MOVEMENT AND CHANGE Newton’s third law of motion Acceleration due to gravity.

Movement in a straight line

Lorry moves forward at a constant velocity

Propulsive force pushes the lorry forwards

Equal and opposite resistive force opposes the forward motion

Page 24: MOVEMENT AND CHANGE Newton’s third law of motion Acceleration due to gravity.

Movement in a straight line

Lorry accelerates forward

Page 25: MOVEMENT AND CHANGE Newton’s third law of motion Acceleration due to gravity.

Movement in a straight line

Lorry accelerates forward

Propulsive force pushes the lorry forwards

Page 26: MOVEMENT AND CHANGE Newton’s third law of motion Acceleration due to gravity.

Movement in a straight line

Lorry accelerates forward

Propulsive force pushes the lorry forwards

The resistive force is smaller than the propulsive force

Page 27: MOVEMENT AND CHANGE Newton’s third law of motion Acceleration due to gravity.

Movement in a straight line

Lorry slows down

Propulsive force pushes the lorry forwards is smaller

Page 28: MOVEMENT AND CHANGE Newton’s third law of motion Acceleration due to gravity.

Movement in a straight line

Lorry slows down

Propulsive force pushes the lorry forwards

The resistive force is larger than the propulsive force

Terminal velocity

Page 30: MOVEMENT AND CHANGE Newton’s third law of motion Acceleration due to gravity.

Terminal velocity

The force of gravity pulls down all objects here on Earth.

If objects are allowed to fall, they accelerate downwards.

Page 31: MOVEMENT AND CHANGE Newton’s third law of motion Acceleration due to gravity.

Terminal velocity

Page 32: MOVEMENT AND CHANGE Newton’s third law of motion Acceleration due to gravity.

Terminal velocity

If there is no air resistance or friction then all objects accelerate at the same rate.

This was first proved in a famous experiment by Galileo.

Page 33: MOVEMENT AND CHANGE Newton’s third law of motion Acceleration due to gravity.

Terminal velocity

Accurate measurements show that the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s2

We usually take the value as being 10 m/s2
