什么是 The common contact forces?

又称: normal reaction · tension · friction · thrust

Definition 6.4 High School Physics · 第 6 章 — Forces and the Principle of Inertia

Four contact forces cover most everyday situations:

  • the normal reaction R→\vect R of a support, perpendicular to its surface, pushing away from it;
  • the tension T→\vect T of a wire, rope or chain, directed along it, pulling toward it;
  • friction f→\vect f from a surface, the air or water, opposing the sliding or the motion;
  • the thrust of an engine, jet or hand, pushing along the effort.
The book on the table: weight P and normal reaction R — same line, equal lengths, opposite ways.

示例

Example 6.5 (Inventory on a towed sled)

A sled towed across the snow: weight P→\vect P (distance), normal reaction R→\vect R of the snow, tension T→\vect T of the rope, friction f→\vect f opposing the sliding. Nothing else touches the sled: the inventory is complete — weight always, then one contact force per touching object.

Example 6.11 (The hockey puck)

Released by the stick, a puck crosses 30 m30\,\mathrm{m} of smooth ice in 2.5 s2.5\,\mathrm{s}, straight at the constant v=30/2.5=12 m/sv = 30/2.5 = 12\,\mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s}. Inventory: weight and normal reaction (friction negligible). They compensate, and the principle predicts exactly the observed motion: nothing pushes the puck forward — and nothing needs to.

Example 6.16 (The book on the table)

A book of mass 0.50 kg0.50\,\mathrm{kg} rests on a table: weight P=0.50×9.81≈4.9 NP = 0.50 \times 9.81 \approx 4.9\,\mathrm{N} and normal reaction R→\vect R. At rest, R→\vect R compensates P→\vect P: vertical, upward, R=4.9 NR = 4.9\,\mathrm{N}. Add a second book and RR adjusts — a support pushes exactly as hard as needed.
