Definicin de dinmica y cinemtica

Dinmica:
Estudio del movimiento de un objeto, y de las
relaciones de este movimiento con conceptos
fsicos tales como la fuerza y la masa.
En otras palabras, estudio del movimiento
atendiendo a las causas que lo producen.

Cinemtica:
Estudio del movimiento, usando los
conceptos de espacio y tiempo, sin tener
en cuenta las causas que lo producen.

conceptos bsicos que vamos a introducir
Qu hace que un objeto se mueva o que permanezca en reposo?
Qu mecanismos hacen que un objeto cambie su estado de movimiento?
Por qu unos objetos se aceleran ms que otros?

Dos conceptos bsicos que vamos a introducir en este tema:


- Fuerza
- Masa

Concepto de fuerza
Puede definirse una fuerza como toda accin o influencia capaz de
modificar el estado de movimiento o de reposo de un cuerpo
(imprimindole una aceleracin que modifica el mdulo, la direccin,
o el sentido de su velocidad), o bien de deformarlo.

La fuerza es todo agente capaz de modificar el momentum de un objeto.

La fuerza es una magnitud vectorial. Por lo tanto, tiene:


- mdulo (en el SI, la unidad es el Newton, N)
- direccin
- sentido
(se les aplica todas las leyes del lgebra vectorial).

was one of the
most brilliant scientists in history.
Como consecuencia,
el muelle se deforma.
Before the age of 30, he
formulated the basic concepts
and laws of mechanics,
discovered the law of universal
gravitation, and invented the
mathematical methods of
calculus. As a consequence of
his theories, Newton was able to
explain the motions of the
planets, the ebb and flow of the
tides, and many special features
of the motions of the Moon and
the Earth. He also interpreted
many fundamental observations
concerning the nature of light.
His contributions to physical
theories dominated scientific
thought for two centuries and
remain important today.

Figure 5.2 The vector nature of a force is tested with a spring scale. (a) A downward
force F1 elongates the spring 1.00 cm. (b) A downward force F2 elongates the spring
2.00 cm. (c) When F1 and F2 are applied simultaneously, the spring elongates by
3.00 cm. (d) When F1 is downward and F2 is horizontal, the combination of the two
forces elongates the spring (1.00 cm)2

Now suppose the two forces are applied simultaneously with F1 downward and F2
horizontal, as illustrated in Figure 5.2d. In this case, the pointer reads
5.00 cm2 " 2.24 cm. The single force F that would produce this same reading is the
sum of the two vectors F1 and F2, as described in Figure 5.2d. That is,
! F ! " F12 $ F22 " 2.24 units, and its direction is ! " tan# 1(# 0.500) " # 26.6.
Because forces have been experimentally verified to behave as vectors, you must
use the rules of vector addition to obtain the net force on an object.

Como se ha verificado experimentalmente que


las fuerzas se comportan como vectores, se
deben utilizar las leyes de la adicin de vectores
para conocer la fuerza neta sobre un objeto

Newtons First Law and Inertial Frames

Primera ley del movimiento de Newton:


ley o principio de inercia
En un sistema inercial, y en ausencia de fuerzas externas, un objeto en reposo
permanece en reposo y un objeto en movimiento contina en movimiento con una
velocidad constante (es decir, con una celeridad constante segn una lnea recta).

Si sobre un cuerpo no acta ninguna fuerza, su aceleracin es cero.


Un objeto tiende a mantener su estado original de movimiento en ausencia de fuerzas.

Parece contraintuitivo: en la vida ordinaria, parece que el estado natural de los cuerpos es el reposo
(sin embargo, tenemos que tener en cuenta las fuerzas de rozamiento).

Requiri una cierta imaginacin darse cuenta de este principio, y el esfuerzo inicial se lo debemos a
Galileo Galilei.

La resistencia de un objeto a cambiar su velocidad se conoce con el nombre de inercia

Definicin de sistema de referencia inercial

Un sistema inercial de referencia es aquel cuyo comportamiento est regulado por


la primera ley de Newton.

Cualquier sistema de referencia que se mueva con una velocidad constante respecto de
un sistema inercial ser, el mismo, un sistema inercial.

Definicin de masa inerte


La masa inerte (o masa inercial) es la medida de la resistencia de un objeto a que se
produzca una variacin en su movimiento como respuesta a una fuerza externa.

La masa es una magnitud escalar (unidades en el SI: el kg)

Definicin de masa inerte:


la masa depende de la velocidad
La masa inerte (o masa inercial) es la medida de la resistencia de un objeto a que se
produzca una variacin en su movimiento como respuesta a una fuerza externa.

A velocidades pequeas comparadas con la velocidad de la luz, la masa se puede


considerar como una propiedad inherente al objeto, independiente del entorno que rodee
al objeto y del mtodo utilizado para medirla.

En Mecnica Relativista, la masa depende de la velocidad del objeto

Qu ocurre cuando la velocidad de un objeto se acerca a la de la luz?

Definicin de masa inerte:


masa y peso son magnitudes diferentes
La masa inerte (o masa inercial) es la medida de la resistencia de un objeto a que se
produzca una variacin en su movimiento como respuesta a una fuerza externa.

La masa y el peso son magnitudes diferentes.


El peso es el mdulo de la fuerza gravitatoria.
Un objeto con la misma masa no pesa lo mismo en la Tierra que en la Luna (cambia el valor de g).

Segunda ley del movimiento de Newton:


(caso general)
La fuerza es la razn de cambio (derivada) del momento con respecto al tiempo,
entendiendo por momento el producto de la masa por la velocidad.

En sistemas en los que la masa no cambia con el tiempo ni con la velocidad

Segunda ley del movimiento de Newton:


(caso no relativista)
En un sistema de referencia inercial, la aceleracin de un objeto es directamente
proporcional a la fuerza neta que actua sobre l, e inversamente proporcional a su masa.

Si sobre un cuerpo acta ms de una fuerza externa, debemos calcular primero la


resultante (suma vectorial) de todas las fuerzas externas.

Desglosando en componentes:

Unidades y magnitudes de la fuerza

En el sistema internacional, la unidad de fuerza es el Newton.


Se define como la fuerza necesaria que hay que aplicar a un
cuerpo de masa 1 kg para que adquiera una aceleracin de 1 m/s2

En el sistema cgs, la unidad es la dina

Dimensiones de la fuerza: [F] = MLT-2

Fuerza gravitacional y peso


La fuerza atractiva que la Tierra ejerce sobre un objeto se denomina fuerza gravitacional
- Direccin: vertical
- Sentido: hacia el centro de la Tierra
- Mdulo: peso

Un objeto en cada libre (aquel que se mueve nicamente bajo la accin de la gravedad)
experimenta un movimiento rectilneo uniformemente acelerado con aceleracin
Como slo acta la gravedad, la suma
de todas las fuerzas externas se
reduce a un solo trmino

How Much Do You Weigh in an Elevator?

Solution No, your weight is unchanged. To provide the acceleration upward, the floor or scale must exert on your feet
an upward force that is greater in magnitude than your
weight. It is this greater force that you feel, which you interpret as feeling heavier. The scale reads this upward force,
not your weight, and so its reading increases.

If two objects interact, the force F12 exerted by object 1 on object 2 is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force F21 exerted by object 2 on object 1:

F12 ! "F21

When it is important to designate forces as interactions between two objects, we will

law, which is illustrated in Figure 5.5a, is equivalent to stating that forces always occur
ab

in pairs, or that a single isolated force cannot exist. The force that object 1 exerts
on object 2 may be called the action force and the force of object 2 on object 1 the reaction force. In reality, either force can be labeled the action or reaction force. The action
force is equal in magnitude to the reaction force and opposite in direction. In
all cases, the action and reaction forces act on different objects and must be of
the same type. For example, the force acting on a freely falling projectile is the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the projectile Fg ! FEp (E ! Earth, p ! projectile), and the magnitude of this force is mg. The reaction to this force is the gravitational force exerted by the projectile on the Earth FpE ! " FEp. The reaction force FpE
must accelerate the Earth toward the projectile just as the action force FEp accelerates
the projectile toward the Earth. However, because the Earth has such a large mass, its
acceleration due to this reaction force is negligibly small.

En todos los casos, las fuerzas de accin y reaccin actan sobre objetos diferentes,
y deben ser del mismo tipo.

Forces of Friction

When an object is in motion either on a surface or in a viscous medium such as air or


water, there is resistance to the motion because the object interacts with its surroundings. We call such resistance a force of friction. Forces of friction are very important
in our everyday lives. They allow us to walk or run and are necessary for the motion of
wheeled vehicles.
Imagine that you are working in your garden and have filled a trash can with yard clippings. You then try to drag the trash can across the surface of your concrete patio, as in
Figure 5.16a. This is a real surface, not an idealized, frictionless surface. If we apply an external horizontal force F to the trash can, acting to the right, the trash can remains stationary if F is small. The force that counteracts F and keeps the trash can from moving
acts to the left and is called the force of static friction fs . As long as the trash can is not
moving, fs ! F. Thus, if F is increased, fs also increases. Likewise, if F decreases, fs also

static friction equals the magnitude of the applied force.

smaller component will not be sufficient to provide the centripetal acceleration associated with the original speed. The
centripetal acceleration must be reduced, which can be
done by reducing the speed v.
Equation (3) shows that the speed v is proportional to
the square root of g for a roadway of fixed radius r banked at

Tipos de fuerzas:
fuerzas ficticias
Las leyes de Newton slo son validas en sistemas de referencia inerciales
Cuando la aceleracin de un objeto se mide con respecto a un sistema de referencia que a su vez
se acelera con respecto a un sistema de referencia inercial, la fuerza resultante no es igual al
producto de la masa por la aceleracin

Incluso en este sistema de referencia acelerado, podemos utilizar la ley de Newton


si introducimos fuerzas ficticias o pseudofuerzas que dependan de la aceleracin del sistema de
referencia

En el sistema de referencia acelerado:

Tipos de fuerzas:
fuerzas ficticias. Ejemplo 1
Se deja caer un objeto en el interior de un vagn de ferrocarril con velocidad inicial nula y
aceleracin constante ac

Un observador situado en la va ve caer


el objeto verticalmente (no hay
velocidad inicial a lo largo de x), y con
aceleracin constante a lo largo de y, g

Con respecto al vagn, posee una


aceleracin vertical g, y una
aceleracin horizontal ac. La bola cae
hacia la parte de atrs del vagn

En el sistema de referencia del vagn se puede utilizar la segunda ley de Newton si


introducimos una fuerza ficticia
que acta sobre cualquier objeto de masa m

Tipos de fuerzas:
fuerzas ficticias. Ejemplo 2
Una lmpara que cuelga de una cuerda del techo de un vagn.
Para cada observador, la componente vertical de la tensin es igual al peso de la lmpara.

Con respecto al vagn, la lmpara est en


equilibrio, y no tiene aceleracin. La
componente horizontal de la tensin equilibra
una fuerza ficticia que acta sobre todos los
objetos del vagn para un observador situado
en el vagn.
Fsica, P. A. Tipler, Ed. Revert, Tercera Edicin, Captulo 5

Un observador situado en la va ve que la


lmpara se acelera hacia la derecha debido a la
accin de de la fuerza no equilibrada, la
componente horizontal de la tensin.

Tipos de fuerzas:
fuerzas ficticias. Ejemplo 3
Una plataforma giratoria.
Cada punto de la trayectoria se mueve en crculo y tiene una aceleracin centrpeta.

Para un observador inercial, el bloque se mueve


en crculo con velocidad v, y est acelerado
hacia el centro del crculo, v2/r, por la fuerza no
equilibrada de la tensin de la fuerza.

Para un observador en la plataforma, el bloque


est en reposo y no acelera. Para usar la
segunda ley de Newton se debe utilizar una
fuerza fictica de magnitud v2/r y que apunte
hacia fuera del crculo, la fuerza centrfuga.

Fsica, P. A. Tipler, Ed. Revert, Tercera Edicin, Captulo 5

Tipos de fuerzas:
fuerzas ficticias
Supongamos que un observador se encuentra en un sistema de referencia acelerado
(pinsese en el ascensor, un tiovivo, o la Tierra que al estar en rotacin no es un sistema
inercial). Este observador realiza experimentos fsicos sencillos (dejar caer un objeto,
medir la tensin de una cuerda..). Como el sistema de referencia en el que est sufre una
aceleracin, sus resultados, medidos por l, no coincidirn en general con los que
obtendra en esos mismos experimentos si estuviera en reposo.
Si este observador cree firmemente en las ecuaciones de Newton, las escribir tal y como
conocemos. Sin embargo, las aceleraciones su sistema est sufriendo, y que el desconoce
que existen, las interpretar,(para que le cuadren las ecuaciones) como una cierta fuerza.
Esta fuerza no existe como tal (no hay ninguna interaccin de la naturaleza que las
genere), pero necesita creer en su existencia para que sigan siendo vlidas las ecuaciones
de Newton.
Estas fuerzas, que aparecen slo en los sistemas de referencia no inerciales se denominan
FUERZAS DE INERCIA, o fuerzas ficticias.
