Mars moon Phobos, as seen by ESA's Mars Express. Phobos is about 25 kilometers in length and does not have enough gravity to compress it into a ball. It orbits so close to Mars that sometime in the next 20 million years, tidal forces will break up Phobos into a ring whose pieces will slowly spiral down and crash onto the red planet. The Russian mission Phobos-Grunt is scheduled to launch and land on Phobos next year.

Newton’s Three Laws of Motion

Newton’s Law of Gravity

The Acceleration of Gravity (a force)
As objects fall, they accelerate (a = g = Fgrav/m).
We use the special symbol g to represent the acceleration due to the force of gravity.
At sea level on the Earth, g = 9.8 m/s each second,
or g = 9.8 m/s2.
The higher you drop the ball, the greater its velocity will be at impact (force will be acting on it longer).

Weight is the force of gravity acting upon an
object :
W = Fg = mg

Galileo demonstrated that g is the same for all objects, regardless of their mass!
![Page 11: Mars moon Phobos, as seen by ESA's Mars Express. Phobos is about 25 kilometers in length and does not have enough gravity to compress it into a ball. It](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649eba5503460f94bc2007/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Is Mass the Same Thing as Weight?● mass – the amount of matter in an object● weight – a measurement of the force due to
gravity acting upon an object
When in free-fall, you still have weight!
“weightless” is a misnomer
W = mg (weight) F = ma
![Page 12: Mars moon Phobos, as seen by ESA's Mars Express. Phobos is about 25 kilometers in length and does not have enough gravity to compress it into a ball. It](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649eba5503460f94bc2007/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
● Objects do have weight in space
● Free-fall often confused with weightlessness

Now, some questions…
![Page 14: Mars moon Phobos, as seen by ESA's Mars Express. Phobos is about 25 kilometers in length and does not have enough gravity to compress it into a ball. It](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649eba5503460f94bc2007/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Tidal Forces Because the gravitational force decreases with (distance)2, the attractive
force experienced by one object (e.g., the Earth) due to the gravitational field of a second object (e.g., the Moon) varies with position (closest parts attracted most strongly).
![Page 15: Mars moon Phobos, as seen by ESA's Mars Express. Phobos is about 25 kilometers in length and does not have enough gravity to compress it into a ball. It](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649eba5503460f94bc2007/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
● Now look at what happens when we measure the forces
relative to the center of the Earth.
![Page 16: Mars moon Phobos, as seen by ESA's Mars Express. Phobos is about 25 kilometers in length and does not have enough gravity to compress it into a ball. It](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649eba5503460f94bc2007/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Tidal Friction
![Page 17: Mars moon Phobos, as seen by ESA's Mars Express. Phobos is about 25 kilometers in length and does not have enough gravity to compress it into a ball. It](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649eba5503460f94bc2007/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Tidal Friction
● This fight between Moon’s pull & Earth’s rotation causes friction.
● Earth’s rotation slows down (1 sec every 50,000 yrs.)
● Conservation of angular momentum causes the Moon to move farther away from Earth.
![Page 18: Mars moon Phobos, as seen by ESA's Mars Express. Phobos is about 25 kilometers in length and does not have enough gravity to compress it into a ball. It](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649eba5503460f94bc2007/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Synchronous Rotation● …is when the rotation period of a moon, planet, or star
equals its orbital period about another object.
● Tidal friction on the Moon (caused by Earth) has slowed its rotation down to a period of one month.
● The Moon now rotates synchronously.– We always see the same side of the Moon.
● Tidal friction on the Moon has ceased since its tidal bulges are always aligned with Earth.
![Page 19: Mars moon Phobos, as seen by ESA's Mars Express. Phobos is about 25 kilometers in length and does not have enough gravity to compress it into a ball. It](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649eba5503460f94bc2007/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
● Most of the large moons in the solar system are in synchronous rotation.

Now we are ready to examine the solar system!!
![Page 21: Mars moon Phobos, as seen by ESA's Mars Express. Phobos is about 25 kilometers in length and does not have enough gravity to compress it into a ball. It](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649eba5503460f94bc2007/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
We want to understand how the solar system was formed and how it got to be in the state that it is today.
Look for patterns and physical characteristics of the solar system.

What does any theory of the formation and evolution of the solar System have to account for?

So how do we account for what we see in the solar system?
