Chapter 4 Making Sense of the Universe
“If I have seen farther than others, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants.” — Sir Isaac Newton (1642 – 1727)
![Page 2: Chapter 4 Making Sense of the Universe](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/56816312550346895dd38bda/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Sir Isaac Newton• Much of what we learned
from Newton was published in a text he wrote which is known today as “Principia”.
• Newton’s picture will indicate one of his contributions presented in this lecture that was first published in the Principia
![Page 3: Chapter 4 Making Sense of the Universe](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/56816312550346895dd38bda/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Before we go into what Newton taught us. How do we describe motion?
• Speed: Rate at which object moves
speed = distancetime units of ms
example: speed of 10 m/s
• Velocity: Speed and direction example: 10 m/s, due east
• ForceAn influence on motione.g. pushing, pulling, friction, gravity, etc.
![Page 4: Chapter 4 Making Sense of the Universe](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/56816312550346895dd38bda/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Newton’s first law of motion: Law of Inertia
• An object moves at constant velocity unless a net force acts to change its speed or direction.
or• “A body remains at rest or moves in a straight line at a
constant speed unless acted upon by a force.”
![Page 5: Chapter 4 Making Sense of the Universe](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/56816312550346895dd38bda/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
More definitions• Acceleration
– Change in Velocity• What are three examples of acceleration?
– Speeding up– Slowing Down– Turning
• Mass- the amount of matter in an object. Also a measure of the resistance of an object to undergo an acceleration
Or as Newton first defined it• The quantity of matter is that which arises conjointly from its density and
magnitude. A body twice as dense in double the space is quadruple in quantity. This quantity I designate by the name of body or of mass.
![Page 6: Chapter 4 Making Sense of the Universe](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/56816312550346895dd38bda/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Newton’s Second Law
• Net Force = mass • acceleration• F = m a
• “The amount of acceleration that a force produces depends on the mass of the object being accelerated.”
• If more than one force is acting on an object the sum of the forces is called the net force…. Examples

Forces
• We earlier gave examples of forces as– pushing, pulling, friction, gravity, etc
• Newton was the first to identify and mathematically define the force of gravity.
• End of Aristotle’s separation of Heaven and Earth

Gravity Questions
• If the distance between two objects in space is doubled, then what happens to the gravitational force between them?
• What if the distance is tripled?• …quadrupled?

Acceleration due to gravity
• The acceleration due to gravity on the earths surface is g=9.81m/s2 and always points towards the center of the earth for all objects regardless of their mass.
• This was first demonstratedby Galileo dropping objectsfrom the leaning tower of Pisa
Apollo 15 demonstration

Mass of the Earth
• Since we can experimentally measure the acceleration due to gravity we could use Newton’s Universal Gravitation to calculate the mass of the earth.
• Density

Weight
• Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object.
• Weight = (mass • acceleration due to gravity)• W=mg

How does gravity cause tides?
• Moon’s gravity pulls harder on near side of Earth than on far side
• Difference in Moon’s gravitational pull stretches Earth

Newton’s Third Law Action-Reaction
• Whenever one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body exerts an equal and opposite force on the first body.”
![Page 20: Chapter 4 Making Sense of the Universe](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/56816312550346895dd38bda/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Apparent Weight
• What a scale would read.
• You appear weightless in free-fall
![Page 24: Chapter 4 Making Sense of the Universe](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/56816312550346895dd38bda/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Weightless
• To have a weight equal to zero you would have to be an infinite distance from all mass.
• Weightless instead implies your apparent weight would be zero.
• This is the case in the elevator accelerating down with a=g
• This is the case for astronauts in orbit
![Page 25: Chapter 4 Making Sense of the Universe](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/56816312550346895dd38bda/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• There is gravity in space
• Weightlessness is due to a constant state of free-fall
Why are astronauts weightless in space?
![Page 26: Chapter 4 Making Sense of the Universe](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/56816312550346895dd38bda/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Kepler’s laws revisited
• Newton was able to show that Kepler’s laws hold for all gravitationally bound orbits, not just planets around the sun.– Moon orbiting earth, comets, etc.
• Newton also showed orbits can be any conic section not just ellipses. – Parabolic and hyperbolic orbits are “unbound”
meaning they do not close on themselves
![Page 27: Chapter 4 Making Sense of the Universe](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/56816312550346895dd38bda/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Kepler’s 3rd law revisited
• Newton was also able to generalize Kepler’s 3rd law.
• G is the G from Universal gravitation, M1 and M2 are the masses of the system
• With this we can calculate the mass of each member of the solar system.– We know the mass of the earth– Use earth to get the sun…

Geosynchronous orbitsAll are at an altitude of 3.58 x 107 m or ~ 22,300 miles above the Earth. The period is one day
![Page 29: Chapter 4 Making Sense of the Universe](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/56816312550346895dd38bda/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Conservation Laws in Physics
• It can be shown (by magic, hand waving, or miracle) that certain quantities in physics are constant under certain circumstances. Thus we say these quantities are conserved.
• Conserved quantities– Momentum– Angular momentum– Energy
![Page 30: Chapter 4 Making Sense of the Universe](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/56816312550346895dd38bda/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Conservation of Momentum
• The total momentum of interacting objects cannot change unless an external force is acting on them
• Interacting objects exchange momentum through equal and opposite forces
![Page 31: Chapter 4 Making Sense of the Universe](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/56816312550346895dd38bda/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Conservation of Angular Momentum
• The angular momentum of an object cannot change unless an external twisting force (torque) is acting on it
• Earth experiences no twisting force as it orbits the Sun, so its rotation and orbit will continue indefinitely
• This is the reason for precession of the earths axis
angular momentum = mass x velocity x radius
![Page 32: Chapter 4 Making Sense of the Universe](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/56816312550346895dd38bda/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Conservation of angular momentum is hat keeps a planet
rotating and orbiting the Sun?

June 30, 1908, 7:17 a.m. local time, Tungus natives and Russian settlers in the hills observed a column of bluish light, nearly as bright as the Sun, moving across the sky. About 10 minutes later, there was a flash and a sound similar to artillery fire. The sounds were accompanied by a shock wave that knocked people off their feet and broke windows hundreds of miles away. The majority of eyewitnesses reported only the sounds and the tremors, and not the sighting of the explosion. The explosion registered on seismic stations.Kulik's party reached the site in 1927.

Thermal Energy: the collective kinetic energy of many particles
(for example, in a rock, in air, in water)
Thermal energy is related to temperature but it is NOT the same.Temperature is the average kinetic energy of the many particles in a substance.

Mass-Energy• Mass itself is a form of potential energy
E = mc2
• A small amount of mass can release a great deal of energy
• Concentrated energy can spontaneously turn into particles (for example, in particle accelerators)
![Page 53: Chapter 4 Making Sense of the Universe](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/56816312550346895dd38bda/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Potential Energy• The energy that is stored is called
potential energy.
• Examples: – Rubber bands– Springs– Bows– Batteries– Gravity– Chemical

Gravitational Potential Energy
• On Earth, depends on:– object’s mass (m)– strength of gravity (g)– distance object could
potentially fall
![Page 55: Chapter 4 Making Sense of the Universe](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/56816312550346895dd38bda/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Gravitational Potential Energy
• In space, an object or gas cloud has more gravitational energy when it is spread out than when it contracts.
Þ A contracting cloud converts gravitational potential energy to thermal energy.
![Page 56: Chapter 4 Making Sense of the Universe](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/56816312550346895dd38bda/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
How do gravity and energy together allow us to understand orbits?
• Total orbital energy (gravitational + kinetic) stays constant if there is no external force
• Orbits cannot change spontaneously.
More gravitational energy;Less kinetic energy
Less gravitational energy;More kinetic energy
Total orbital energy stays constant
![Page 57: Chapter 4 Making Sense of the Universe](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/56816312550346895dd38bda/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Þ So what can make an object gain or lose orbital energy?
• Friction or atmospheric drag
• A gravitational encounter.
Changing an Orbit

Orbital velocity
• It can be shown the speed of an object in orbit at a given radius R is given by
• Note it is only dependent on the mass of the object being orbited.

• If an object gains enough orbital energy, it may escape (change from a bound to unbound orbit)
• Escape velocity from Earth ≈ 11 km/s from sea level (about 40,000 km/hr)
