Dynamics
What is Dynamics
Where kinematics DESCRIBES motion ...
Dynamics studies the CAUSES of motion.
All motion can be explained by …
Force
Force is a VECTOR –
Four fundamental forces
There are 4 fundamental forces:
• Gravitation
• Electromagnetism
• Weak nuclear force
• Strong nuclear force
All forces that we experience in life
come either from gravitation or
electromagnetism.
Types of forces
1. Applied
2. Thrust
3. Weight
4. Normal
5. Elastic
6. Tension
7. Friction
8. Air resistance
9. Electric
10. Magnetic
Some kinds of forces you will
encounter include:

Summary and exercises on drawing free body diagrams.
Force and Newton’s
First Law
Force and Newton’s First Law

An object will remain at rest or move with constant velocity unless
acted upon by a net external force.
What does this mean?

A ball at rest will stay at rest unless
someone kicks it.
… and …
An astronaut who is moving through
space will continue to move with
constant velocity unless acted
upon by a force
(What kind of forces could alter the
astronaut’s velocity?)
… so …

What causes this stone to stop
after it leaves the athlete’s
hand?
Net forces
Repulsion There are forces on this ball.
What are they and why don’t they
cause motion?
This is similar to a ‘tug of war’, which will experience no movement if
both forces are equal
… similarly …
Air resistance
•As a sky diver accelerates
during freefall …
•Air resistance increases
•When air resistance equals the
sky diver’s weight …
Task 1
• Draw graphs for
• displacement and time,
• velocity and time
• acceleration and time
• for an object in freefall
• under air resistance
Task 2
Magnetic forces are often at least as powerful as gravitational forces.
Consider a 5 kg piece of iron suspended in mid-air by a powerful
magnet above the piece of iron. How much force does the magnet
exert on the iron?
Solution
•The iron does not move, implying a constant velocity ( v = 0 ). Thus,
by Newton's First Law, the sum of the forces on the iron must be
zero. In this case, there are two forces acting upon the iron: the
gravitational force of the earth, and the magnetic force of the
magnet. Thus F G + G M = 0 . We can calculate the gravitational
force using the fact that the gravitational acceleration on earth is 9.8
Newton’s Second Law
Newton’s Second Law
F = ma
Net Force = mass x acceleration
1N = 1kg x 1ms-2
1. What does this mean?

A shuttle which applies a constant
force in space will accelerate
indefinitely at a constant rate
A constant force will cause a constant
acceleration, NOT a constant velocity.
so why is it that a constant force …
…usually causes a constant VELOCITY, not
a constant ACCELERATION?
Propulsion
V=VC
a = 0
Rolling
Friction
… similarly …
If there is no net force (ie: F=0), then there is no acceleration (ie: a=0).
This supports Newton’s first law…
… in the absence of a net external force, (ie: F=0)
• Bodies at rest will remain at rest (since a=0)
• And bodies moving at velocity ‘v’ will continue to move at velocity ‘v’. (since a=0)
2 … also …
Under the same force, larger masses will undergo smaller accelerations …
… and vice versa
3. finally
If: F = ma, (and W = mg)
Then: g = W/m
Since: W is proportional to m
Then: g is constant for all values
of m (and W).
W
m
What is the
gradient?
What does this mean?
• It means that in a vacuum …
• All objects fall with the same
acceleration
• (eg: a feather and a bowling ball).
• On earth, different accelerations are
caused by air resistance.
Video

Air resistance.
• Air resistance is a force which
always opposes motion
• It’s magnitude depends on …
• The size of the body
• The velocity of the body
• The viscosity of the fluid
• And is represented by the formula
F= 6[pi]Nrv
D = 6[pi]Nrv
r
Drag
Weight
v
N
Mass
Mass is a SCALAR.
Its magnitude is measured in kilograms, (kg)
It has no direction
Mass is the amount of matter, or ‘stuff’ that makes up a body
Weight •Mass is not weight
•Weight does not measure the matter (stuff) in your
body
•It measures the FORCE that is exerted on your
MASS due to GRAVITATIONAL acceleration (g)
•However, weight is used to calculate your mass
Weight (a force) is a VECTOR
–Weight’s magnitude is measured in …
–Weight’s direction is always …
From: F = ma
W = mg
Weight = mass x gravitational acceleration
Weight will change in different locations due
to different gravitational accelerations:
Location Earth Moon Space
g = 9.8 1.6 0
Weight
80kg x
9.8 ms-2
=
784 N
80kg x
1.6 ms-2
=
128 N
80kg x
0 ms-2
=
0 N
In contrast …
Mass, whose matter (stuff) remains the same in all locations …
Mass and Inertia
•Mass has a property called INERTIA
•Inertia is the tendency to resist any change in motion (including direction).
•The tendency to keep moving in a straight line at constant linear velocity.
•The larger the mass, the larger its inertia.
Inertia is why …
…great effort is required to start something moving
… and less effort is required to keep it moving at the same speed 
…you keep moving when your car stops
… and this happens
… (most) magicians are able to pull a table cloth from under things without pulling them all off
the table.
… ships of great mass (and inertia) need to start braking at least half an hour before
they want to stop.
Cars turning a corner will try to continue in its original direction (having the effect of leaning right
when turning left, and vice versa)
Test on second law
Remember that Force is proportional to
acceleration and not to velocity
Note also that Force and acceleration
can be in opposite direction to
velocity.
Try the following exercises to check
whether you really understand this

Newton’s Third Law
Newton's third law
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction

which is equal in size and opposite in direction on A.

WARNING!
Balanced
• Relates to 1st
law
• Is rarely the same
type of force
• Relates to the
same object
• Only applies during
constant velocity
Equal and opposite
• Relates to 3rd
law
• Is always the same
type of force
• Relates to 2
different objects
• Applies in all kinds
of motion
Balanced forces are not the same as equal and
opposite forces.

Summary of
Newton’s Laws
Summary of Newton’s Laws
1. An object will remain at rest or move with constant velocity unless
acted upon by a net force.
2. A constant force will cause a constant acceleration, the magnitude of
which is inversely proportional to the body’s mass
3. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
If F = 0
Then a = 0
v is constant
F = ma
