   The fundamental equation of mechanics is Newton’s Second Law of Motion: F = ma (4:2) A FORCEacting on an object with mass mwill produce an acceleration a. Note that this is a vector equation, so it actually represents three separate equations for the X, Y, and Zcomponents of the force and the acceleration. More than one force acting on an object

   Figure 3.8: Motion diagram and free-body diagram for a box being dragged to the right, by means of a string, across a flat surface. Step 4 - Compare and contrast the free-body diagrams you drew in steps 2 and 3. The free-body diagrams are quite different, with one having no forces and the other having four.

   force is an interaction between two bodies or between a body and its environment. One intuitive type of force is a contact force, which often clearly involves a direct interaction (or contact) between the surfaces or boundaries of the bodies involved. We can further discriminate between different kinds of contact forces.

   Figure 4.4 The force exerted by a stretched spring can be used as a standard unit of force. (a) This spring has a length x when undistorted. (b) When stretched a distance Δx , the spring exerts a restoring force, Frestore , which is reproducible. (c) A spring scale is one device that uses a spring to measure force.

   What causes action at a distance?

   • Action at a distance, such as the gravitational force of Earth on the Moon, is explained by the existence of a force field rather than by “physical contact.” The four basic forces are the gravitational force, the electromagnetic force, the weak nuclear force, and the strong nuclear force. Their properties are summarized in Table 4.1.

   What is the relationship between force and acceleration?

   • Second Law: Relation between Force and Acceleration An object will experience an acceleration a in direct proportion to the force F exerted on the object. The constant of the proportionality is the object’s mass m. ~F= m~a (4:2) If there is no force then there must be no acceleration. If there is no acceleration then there must be no force.

   What are external forces in a free-body diagram?

   • External forces are any outside forces that act on a body. A free-body diagram is a drawing of all external forces acting on a body. Newton’s first law of motion states that a body at rest remains at rest, or, if in motion, remains in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force. This is also known as the law of inertia.

   How does a force act on an object?

   • A force, which is a push or a pull, acts on an object when there is an interaction between that object and another object. Newton’s laws give us some guidelines to use when applying forces to solve problems. They are:

   How to solve drag force Fd using Newton's second law?

   • Our strategy is to find the magnitude and direction of the net applied force Fapp , and then apply Newton’s second law to solve for the drag force FD . Since Fx and Fy are perpendicular, the magnitude and direction of Fapp are easily found. First, the resultant magnitude is given by the

   What is a normal force in Newton's 3rd law?

   • (c) By Newton’s third law, box 2 applies a normal force on box 1 of 10 N down. (d) For the forces on box 1 to balance, the table applies a normal force of 30 N up. In general, when two objects are in contact with one another, they exert contact forces that are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.
