Example 4: Newton's Second Law of Motion and Centripetal Force

In this video, I go over the vector version of Isaac Newton's 2nd Law of Motion, which states that if a force F acts on a particle of mass m producing an acceleration a, then F = m a, where F and a are vectors in the same direction. I illustrate this with an example on an object moving in a circular path. The resulting force points in the opposite direction of the position vector, thus is always pointing inwards towards the origin. Such a force is called a centripetal or center-seeking force. I also illustrate the concept of angular speed, and how it and the radius effects the centripetal force by graphing it in the amazing GeoGebra 3D graphing calculator: https://www.geogebra.org/graphing/q7vx6myn

Timestamps:

  • Isaac Newton's 2nd Law of Motion: F = m a – 0:00
  • Example 4: Centripetal Force – 0:53
  • Solution: First find the acceleration from the 2nd derivative of the position vector – 1:33
    • Force = mass times acceleration – 3:43
    • Force is negative and thus in the opposite direction of the position vector, so it points inwards toward the origin, and is called centripetal force – 4:50
    • Illustrating the centripetal force and angular speed – 6:20
      • Converting rectangular coordinates to polar coordinates – 8:43
      • Setting the polar angle as a function of its derivative, so that we have the angular speed as a variable of interest – 10:16
      • Inputs for GeoGebra 3D Graphing Calculator – 11:28
      • Graphing in GeoGebra – 14:01
        • Force gets bigger as radius is increased while angular speed is constant since the object has to speed up to maintain the constant angular speed – 17:29
