Example 1Example 1
You and a friend are standing on level ground, each holding identical baseballs. At exactly the same time, and from the same height, you drop your baseball without throwing it while your friend throws her baseball horizontally as hard as she can. Which ball hits the ground first?
1. Your ball
2. Your friends ball
3. They both hit the ground at the same time correct
They both have the same initial vertical component with the same acceleration due to gravity, therefore they hit the ground at the same time.
No matter how much horizontal velocity is put on an object it still falls at the same rate as any other dropped object.
• y = y0 + voyt - gt2/2
• v0y = 0 and y=0
• Therefore, t=sqrt(2y0/g)
• Result is independent of v0x

Example 2Example 2A flatbed railroad car is moving along a track at constant velocity. A passenger at the center of the car throws a ball straight up. Neglecting air resistance, where will the ball land ?
1. Forward of the center of the car
2. At the center of the car
3. Backward of the center of the carcorrect
The ball has no acceleration in the horizontal direction. Therefore, the balls remains directly above the center of the train at all times during the flight
and would fall directly back toward the center of the train.
The train and the ball have the same horizontal velocity and by throwing the ball straight up, the horizontal component is not changed.

You are a vet trying to shoot a tranquilizer dart into a monkey hanging from a branch in a distant tree. You know that the monkey is very nervous, and will let go of the branch and start to fall as soon as your gun goes off. On the other hand, you also know that the dart will not travel in a straight line, but rather in a parabolic path like any other projectile. In order to hit the monkey with the dart, where should you point the gun before shooting?
1 Right at the monkey2 Below the monkey3 Above the monkey
Example 4Example 4
correct
If the shot is fired at the monkey the same time the monkey drops, both objects will fall at the same rate causing the shot to hit the monkey.

Classical Mechanics and forcesClassical Mechanics and forces Classical mechanics:
Describes the relationship between the motion of objects in our everyday world and the forces acting on them
Conditions when Classical Mechanics does not apply
» very tiny objects (< atomic sizes)
» objects moving near the speed of light Force:
Usually think of a force as a push or pullVector quantityMay be a contact force or a field force
» Contact forces result from physical contact between two objects
» Field forces act between disconnected objects
» Also called “action at a distance”

NewtonNewton’’s First Laws First Law The motion of an object does not change unless it is acted
upon by a net external force (for the definition of force see Newton’s 2nd Law…)
If v=0, it remains 0 If v is some value, it stays at that value
Hence: If no net force
velocity is constant in magnitude and direction acceleration is zero
Hence: An object traveling at a constant velocity along a straight line will continue to do so as long as there is no net external force acting on it
External forces are forces that result from the interaction between the object and its environment

Example 7Example 7
An airplane is flying from Madison to O'Hare. Many forces act on the plane, including weight (gravity), drag (air resistance), the thrust of the engine, and the lift of the wings. At some point during its trip the velocity of the plane is measured to be constant (which means its altitude is also constant). At this time, the totaltotal force on the plane:
1. is pointing upward2. is pointing downward 3. is pointing forward 4. is pointing backward5. is zero
lift
weight
drag thrust
correct
When the velocity is constant the objects acceleration is equal to zero. The only time acceleration is equal to zero is when the sum of the net force is equal to zero.
An object traveling at a constant velocity along a straight line will continue to do so as long as there is no net force acting on it (Newton's First Law). The total force
acting on the plane is zero, because its motion is uniform in a straight line.

Inertia and massInertia and mass
Inertia:Is the tendency of an object to continue in its original motion
(N.B. not a physics quantity in the strict sense of the term) Mass:
A measure of the resistance of an object to changes in its motion due to a force
Scalar quantitySI units are kg
Medical Physics, Winter 2013/14, Vita-Salute San Raffaele University10/10/13 14

Inertial reference frames are coordinate systems which travel at constant velocity.
In such a frame, an object is observed to have no acceleration when no forces are acting on it.
If a reference frame moves with constant velocity relative to an inertial reference frame, it also is an inertial reference frame.
There is no absolute inertial reference frame, meaning that there is no state of velocity which is special in the universe. All inertial reference frames are equivalent. One can only detect the relative motion of one inertial reference frame to another.
(Approximate) example of inertial frame: train moving with constant velocity
Examples of non-inertial frames: train accelerating, bus braking, car on a curve…
Newton’s 1st law is a way to define inertial frames

Inertial vs non-inertial reference frameInertial vs non-inertial reference frame

NewtonNewton’’s Second Laws Second Law
The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.
Units: [F] = [M] [a] [F] = kg-m/s2
1 Newton (N) = 1 kg-m/s2
A vector equation: Fnet,x = Max
Fnet,y = May
Medical Physics, Winter 2013/14, Vita-Salute San Raffaele University10/10/13 16
Newton’s second law applies only in inertial reference frames
Applying it in non-inertial ones leads to pseudo-forces, e.g. centrifugal force

Example 8Example 8 A force F acting on a mass m1 results in an acceleration a1.
The same force acting on a different mass m2 results in an acceleration a2 = 2a1. What is the mass m2?
(1)(1) 2m1 (2)(2) m1 (3)(3) m1/2
F a1
m1 F a2 = 2a1
m2
• F=ma • F= m1a1 = m2a2 = m2(2a1)• Therefore, m2 = m1/2
• Or in words…twice the acceleration means half the mass

Gravitational Force and WeightGravitational Force and Weight Mutual force of attraction between any two objects Expressed by Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation:
The magnitude of the gravitational force acting on an object of mass m near the Earth’s surface is called the weight w of the objectw = m g is a special case of Newton’s Second Law
» g is the acceleration due to gravity: g = 9.81 m/s2
g can also be found from the Law of Universal Gravitation
» g = GMearth/r2
Weight is not an inherent property of an object mass is an inherent property
Weight depends upon location

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

When person is holding the bag
above the table he must supply a force.
When the bag is placed on the table, the table supplies
the force that holds the bag on it
That force is perpendicular or
normal to the surface of the table

Frictional ForceFrictional Force Friction
Opposes motion between systems in contactParallel to the contact surfaceDepends on the force holding the surfaces
together
» Normal force (N) Static friction
Force required to move a stationary object
» fs is less than or equal to μs N
» Object remains stationary Kinetic friction
Frictional force on an object in motion
» Is generally less than static friction Note: Equation contains only magnitudes of forces
since friction and normal force have different directions
μS: coefficient of static frictionμK: coefficient of kinetic friction

Static friction acts to keep the object from moving
If F increases, so does ƒs
If F decreases, so does ƒs
ƒs ≤ µs n
The force of kinetic friction acts when the object is in motion
ƒk = µk nVariations of the
coefficient with speed will be ignored

Example 13Example 13You are pushing a wooden crate across the floor at constant
speed. You decide to turn the crate on end, reducing by half the surface area in contact with the floor. In the new
orientation, to push the same crate across the same floor with the same speed, the force that you apply must be about
a) four times as great
b) twice as great
c) equally as great
d) half as great
e) one-fourth as great
as the force required before you changed the crate orientation.
Frictional force does not depend on the area of contact. It depends only on
the normal force and the coefficient of friction for the contact.

TensionTensionTension is a force along the
length of a mediumTension can be transmitted around corners
If there is no friction in the pulleys, T remains the same

10/10/13 Medical Physics, Winter 2013/14, Vita-Salute San Raffaele University 44
More on tensionMore on tension
For massless cords passing over frictionless pulleys or surfaces the whole rope is characterized by a single tension, which is usually
denoted as T. If a rope is in tension, then at any cross section along its length, the left part pulls on the right by a force T and the right side pulls on the left by
a force, T. Hence: 1. There is a single tension, T, characterizing an ''ideal'' cord.
2. A rope can only pull along its length. It never pushes and it never exerts a force perpendicular to its length.
Rule 1) sets the magnitude of the forces produced by a cord and rule 2) determines the direction of the force produced on an object in contact
with the cord.

In the 17th century, Otto von Guricke, a physicist in Magdeburg, fitted two hollow bronze hemispheres together and removed the air from the resulting sphere with a pump. 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
