Question: You will be designing and sketching a force pair system based on Newton's Second and Third Laws. Your force pair system will be modeled off
You will be designing and sketching a force pair system based on Newton's Second and Third Laws. Your force pair system will be modeled off of the examples presented in Lecture 2.2 - the apple and orange system and the horse/wagon/ground system.
- For your system:
- Your system must contain two force pairs. In the horse/wagon/ground system the force pairs are (Horse + Ground) and (Horse + Wagon).
- You must draw arrows representing the vectors for each component in each force pair.
- You must assign magnitudes to your vectors and label them (this can be numbers in or near the arrows).
- You must include a simple math calculation representing net force and the direction of acceleration for the components of your force pair system.
- You do not need to do any super complicated math here! For example, if the vector for Object A in one force pair is five units to the left, and the vector for Object B in one force pair is seven units to the right, you would draw an arrow to the right and label the magnitude as two force units.
- You can be as creative or not creative with this as you like. Your system has to work mathematically but does not have to work physically. Remember, each force in a force pair is equal and opposite (Newton's Second Law).
- Your system can be a cat pushing a T-Rex across the surface of the moon. Do not worry if you are not a natural artist, you can draw blobs and label them "cat" and "T-rex" if you like.
- The only things your system cannot include are apples, oranges, carts, horses, wagons, cats or T-rexes!
