Newton's Second Law of Motion: F = ma

  • One of the best things about Newton was the way that he showed how natural phenomena abide by rigid mathematical principles. So much so that we can use mathematical equations to calculate how objects will actually behave. This equation, F = ma, looks pretty tame, but it packs a punch!

    Hi Prof! My teacher said that the more correct version of the second law is F = (dp)/(dt) * k ..where p is momentum ofc..and the statement of the equation as per my teacher goes-- the force applied on a body is directly proportional to the rate of change of momentum. Well, of the three laws , I find the second one trickiest of the lot , so I could really use some detailing on this if you may. Thanks for all your in a nutshell videos!

    F = m a
    m = F / a
    The units for force is the Newton which is also expressed as Kg meter / s2

    m = (20 Kg meter / s2) / a
    The final velocity is 2.3 m/s
    The acceleration means change in velocity:
    a = (2.3 meter / s) / 3 s

    a ≅ 0.77 meter / s2
    For each second that goes by, velocity increased by about 0.77 meter / s
    m ≅ (20 Kg meter / s2) / 0.77 meter / s2

    m ≅ 26 Kg

    Hello professor, I'm trying to write an equation that describe a point (Dimension 0) generating spacetime, like a planet generating an electromagnetic field. The shape is a donut 🍩 or taurus. But no hole in the middle, just a point.
    And where every point on the donut is a protection of that singularity.
    (Take a breath)
    Every point is identical, the spacetime around it is infinitely varied.
    What course do i need to write that so scientists can understand it?
    Cool property of this theory: there is no matter, just warped spacetime. That is why we only find forces and interactions, no "thing".
    It probably meeds some fractal equation too.
    I hope you can guide me in my quest.

    If a 10-ton truck were traveling at a constant speed of 70 mph, does F=ma suggest it has no force? I think somebody hit by that truck would disagree, if they could.

    • @carultch
      @carultch Рік тому

      If the speed is constant and the direction is constant, then there is no net force. The traction force powering it forward would equal all resistive forces it has to work against. The normal force stopping it from sinking thru the asphalt would equal the component of its weight pulling it toward the road. If it were moving around a curve, it would also require a radially inward force to keep it on the road.
      Technically it isn't moving at constant velocity, because it is also moving around Earth's curvature. But this is considered insignificant, unless you are specifically told to account for it, or if its speed is comparable to the escape velocity of Earth's gravitational field. All this does is make its weight slightly less. Look up the Eotvos Effect, if you are curious to learn more.

    • @carultch
      @carultch Рік тому

      Pounds are conflated as both a force and a mass unit, which makes it more confusing. It is only valid for force pounds to directly be determined by mass pounds, if we are talking about weight in Earth's gravity. Forces in general will have no connection to mass, and F=m*a only directly applies if you use a consistent set of units. Our brain is not set up to handle force and mass in units that are not interchangeable, which is essential if we wish to understand Newton's second law, unless we have the luck of gravity being 1 unit/s^2.
      For pounds to be the force unit, and ft/s^2 to be the acceleration unit, you need to use slugs as the mass unit. Most people in the countries that use this unit system, have never used a slug in their life. A slug is a unit of inertia, which is the mass that will accelerate at 1 ft/s^2, when subject to a net force of 1 pound. A slug of mass roughly weighs 32 pounds.
      For pounds to be the mass unit, and ft/s^2 to be the acceleration unit, you need to use poundals as the force unit. Again, a unit that is Greek to most people who use this unit system. A poundal is about 1/32nd of a pound of force.

    If I were going 20 mph and I hit a wall I prolly wouldn't die, but if I was going 100 mph and hit a wall I prolly would die, but in both scenarios I could feasibly have the same acceleration and mass, meaning the same force. But obviously hitting a wall at 100 mph I will feel more force. Can someone explain how there doesn't have to a velocity component in this equation as well?

    • @carultch
      @carultch 2 роки тому

      The acceleration is not going to be equal between the two scenarios. Worst-case scenario, you have to come to rest in the same amount of stopping distance, which means the force will quadruple. Best case scenario, the impact force is linear-elastic, and the maximum force will be proportional to the velocity.

    Greater the mass , greater will be the force and acceleration then why a is inversely proportional to m

    I have a very important 2 questions for me:)
    1. In space, there is a space shuttle that does't move. Mass of this shuttle is always constant. This space shuttle has a rocket engine which produce a constant force of 100N. When the engine is started and the ship has a constant thrust of 100N, when the ship starts to accelerate, will the acceleration be constant and remain constant (let's assume 10m / s), or maybe the acceleration will start to decrease as the speed increases? It is related to the rule Ek = 1 / 2mv ^ 2 ???
    2. Same space shuttle doesnt move. Shuttle start to accelerate from 0km/h to 10km/h in 5 seconds and it takes "X" energy for example. How much energy it will needed to accelerate also 10km/h more in also in 5 seconds when it allready have velocity of 100km/h ? Also "X" energy? Or much more "X" of energy? And why is that?

      1. acceleration will decrease to 0 and the velocity will be constant since it is in space. the space shuttle will continue to move in space

    • @carultch
      @carultch 2 роки тому

      Question 1: A rocket is a system of varying mass. In order to be able to run the rocket engine, you have to lose mass, which means thrusters that provide a constant force will cause a continuously increasing acceleration while the mass decreases. Eventually it will run out of fuel and cease to be able to accelerate, at which point it will coast at a constant velocity.
      Question 2: Not possible to answer without knowing the specific impulse of the propellant. I.e. how many Newton-seconds of impulse each kg of propellant provides.

      Not enough information. We would need to also know:
      A: the mass of the trailer itself
      B: the acceleration of the trailer
      C: the context of the force in question. Are we talking about its weight, or the forward pulling force from the tractor?

      Get a motor with a winch and turn it on so the tension in the winch cable pulls the object toward you. Technically, the energy didn't come from within me, it came from the battery that powers the motor.

    Newton's Second Law of Motion needs a slight correction since they did not know about squaring a number in Newton's era we can assume that this may have been overlooked. As such F=ma^2 is a natural correction that can be easily proofed through calculation, formulation, and experimentation. This correction is 33% more accurate if you do not accept it proof it yourself.

      We've known about the Pythagorean theorem, the quadratic formula, Cardano's cubic formula, and the foundation of imaginary and complex numbers, all before Newton's time. There is no way they "did not know about squaring a number" in Newton's era.

      N can be rewritten as kg m/s², as per its definition. Replacing that in the equation allows us to cancel the "m/s²" part:
      20N = m (0.77 m/s²)
      20 kg m/s² = m (0.77 m/s²)
      20 kg = 0.77m
      m = 26 kg
      Hope this made it clearer

    I have always had this problem with this equation. F is defined with kg. Mass is defined with kg. Thus it seems to me to be a circular reference. Obviously I’m not understanding something. How is this NOT a circular reference?

    • @ProfessorDaveExplains

      Forces are expressed in Newtons. Mass (kg) times acceleration (m/s^2) = Newtons (kg m/s^2).

      @@ProfessorDaveExplains Thanks for response. One thing I learned in engineering school is to always check your units to avoid a stupid answer. Using the units you state, the quation F-ma becomes:
      kg m/s^2 = kg m/s^2. Sort of a truism! I know I am not getting something correct, but do not see where. I just love physics and try to understand things. But I still find this a "circular" reference. If you can point me to a fuller explaintion elsewhere on the internet then i will go there and try to understand what I am getting wrong.
      Further: I always find it easier to understand this equation if you look at it this way:
      m = F/a. Mass IS DEFINED as the ratio of the force it takes to accelerate an object at a certain rate. My problem is how to define force. Ingnoring relativity, we can measure time (s) and distance (m) anywhere.

    Why is it meters per second squared and not just meters per second. Like one newton is how much force it take to move one 1kg 1meter in 1 second. The squared part is throwing me. Is it because its acclerating and the squared allows the speed to go up maybe?

      When m is constant, it is equal to m*a. dm/dt would equal zero by definition. For non-relativistic systems, and systems that don't add or subtract a significant amount of mass (i.e. not a rocket), dm/dt might as well be zero. Mass is conserved, so unless there is a reason for an object to lose mass, its mass will be constant.
