D DDDyn ynynam amamics icsics Isaac Newton (1643 - 1727) published Principia Mathematica in 1687. In this work, he proposed three laws of motion: Law 1: An object subject to no net external force is at rest or moveswith a constant ve locity, (if viewed from an inertial reference frame). Law 2: For any object, F = . F= ma net i i Fb Law 3: Forces occur in pairs: = . ,b ,a Fa (For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.) 3/27/08 Physics 201, UW-Madison 2

Q QQQu uuestio estioestion nn 1 11 Consider a car at rest. We can conclude that the downward gravitational pull of Earth on the car and the upward contact force of Earth on it are equal and opposite because 1. The two forces form an action-reaction pair 2. The net force on the car is zero 3. Neither of the above The two forces cannot be an action-reaction pair because they act on the same object (car). Car is at rest - therefore, it has no net forces acting on it. The forces acting on it add up to zero 3/27/08 Physics 201, UW-Madison 8

Two eight-horse teams could not pull the halves apart even though the hemispheres fell apart when air was readmitted! Suppose von Guricke had tied both teams of horses to one side and bolted the other side to a heavy tree trunk. In this case, the tension on the hemisphere would be a) twice what it was b) exactly what it was c) half what it was
