Page 1: Forces at Angles. Recall: In this case the Applied Force is horizontal only If the F=Ff, it means the object is either at rest or moving at a constant

Forces at Angles

Page 2: Forces at Angles. Recall: In this case the Applied Force is horizontal only If the F=Ff, it means the object is either at rest or moving at a constant

Recall: In this case the

Applied Force is horizontal only

If the F=Ff, it means the object is either at rest or moving at a constant velocity

Ff

Force at an Angle

What happens to the all of the Forces if the Applied force is placed at an angle?

Fg=W

Determining Acceleration When a question asks about an

acceleration of a block (x-direction) Use Newton’s Second Law

Be sure to sum the forces ONLY in the X-direction FNet = Fx - Ff

m

Determining Normal Force When a question asks about

the Normal force of a block (y-direction)

FN = Fg – Fy

Be sure to sum the forces ONLY in the Y –direction

Page 7: Forces at Angles. Recall: In this case the Applied Force is horizontal only If the F=Ff, it means the object is either at rest or moving at a constant

Example:

If the little girl in the picture before is pulling her 10 kg little sister with a force of 50N at an angle of 15o and the force of friction is 5N, what is the girls acceleration and what is the normal force?

Rotating orientation

When looking at objects on an incline the easiest idea is to rotate the orientation of the X-Y axis to the angle

X

old y axis

new x axis:parallel to incline

new y axis:perpendicular to incline

Determining Parallel & Perpen Force of Friction:

Force of friction is opposite the angle and you know the hypotenuse

Normal Force: Normal force is adjacent to

the angle and you know the hypotenuse
