TITLE: NUMERICAL VERIFICATION OF NEWTON’S SECOND LAW OF MOTION

OBJECTIVES: 1. To numerically examine the relationship between force, mass and acceleration. 2. To find the acceleration of the cart in the simulator. 3. To find the distance covered by the cart in the simulator in the given time interval.

EQUIPMENT: 1. Newton’s Second Law of Motion Virtual Lab simulator. 2. Computer

Figure 1.1: Newton’s Second Law of Motion simulator

INTRODUCTION: Newton's laws are applied to objects which are idealized as single point masses in the sense that the size and shape of the object's body are neglected in order to focus on its motion more easily. This can be done when the object is small compared to the distances involved in its analysis, or the deformation and rotation of the body are of no importance. In this way, even a planet can be idealized as a particle for analysis of its orbital motion around a star. Newton’s second law of motion can be used conveniently to derive the equation of motion of a system under the following conditions: 1. The system undergoes either pure translation or pure rotation. 2. The motion takes place in a single plane. 3. The force acting on the system either have a constant orientation or are oriented parallel to the direction along which the point of application moves.

THEORICAL PRINCIPLE:
Newton’s second law of motion states that the rate of change of momentum of a body directly proportional to the force acting on it and takes place in the direction of the applied force.

The mathematical expression of Newton’s second law of motion is
F (mv-mu)/t
F m(v-u)/t
F ma
Where m is the mass of a body, v is the final velocity of the body, u is the initial velocity of the body and t is

    Newton’s second law of physics dictates that acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. The greater the mass of the object, the greater the force needed to put the object in an accelerated motion. This relationship can be viewed in the formula:…

    Newton’s second law (equation of motion): The acceleration of a body is directly proportional to, and in the same direction as, the net force acting on the body, and inversely proportional to its mass. Thus, F = ma, where F is the net force acting on the object, m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration of the object.…

    Newtons laws are: (1) Every object moves in a straight line unless acted upon by a force. (2) The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force exerted and inversely proportional to the object's mass. (3) For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.…

    Newton’s First Law of Motion explains that objects in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in rest unless an external force is applied to it. Galileo’s concept of inertia is termed “Law of Inertia”. Law of Inertia, an object in motion will continue in the same motion unless acted by an outside force. Aircraft in flight is an example of First Law of Motion, four forces on an aircraft; lift, weight, thrust, and a drag. Consider the motion of an aircraft at constant altitude, we can neglect the lift and weight, a cruising aircraft at constant speed and the thrust balances the drag of the aircraft. This is the first part sited in Newton’s First Law; there is no net force on the airplane and it travels at a constant velocity in a straight line.…

    Isaac Newton’s first law of motion states that an object in motion tends to stay in motion, and an object at rest tends to stay at rest, unless an outside force is acting upon the object. This is a simple, yet complex concept that we see and feel every day. Long before this law of motion was observed and put into words it was acting upon us as human beings, as well as every other object, not only here on earth but everywhere in the universe. How Newton’s first law of motion affects things in space is just as important as how it affects us here on earth.…

    Perhaps out of all of his discoveries, the greatest are his three laws of motion and law of universal gravitation. Newton’s law of universal gravitation states that all objects attract one another with a force known as gravity. This helped explain the movement of the planets and other celestial bodies, and their orbit around the sun. (The Physics Classroom) Since the sun has the greatest amount of mass in the solar system, all of the other objects and planets in the solar system are pulled towards it.…

    In Book I of Principia, Isaac began with the three laws of motion and definitions now known as Newton’s laws of motion. It contained action and reaction, laws of inertia, and acceleration proportional to force. Book II showed Newton’s original scientific idea which came to replace Cartesianism. Lastly, Book III contained applications of his dynamics, including an explanation for tides and a theory of lunar motion. Isaac also correctly expressed and solved the first ever problem in the calculous of variations which involved finding the surface of revolution which would give the lowest resistance to flow…
