Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation
If the force of gravity is being exerted on objects on Earth, what is the origin of that force?
Newton’s realization was that the force must come from the Earth.
He further realized that this force must be what keeps the Moon in its orbit.

Gravity Near the Earth’s Surface; Geophysical Applications
The acceleration due to gravity varies over the Earth’s surface due to altitude, local geology, and the shape of the Earth, which is not quite spherical.

Satellites
Satellites are routinely put into orbit around the Earth. The tangential speed must be high enough so that the satellite does not return to Earth, but not so high that it escapes Earth’s gravity altogether.

Satellites
The satellite is kept in orbit by its speed – it is continually falling, but the Earth curves from underneath it.

Satellites and “Weightlessness”
Objects in orbit are said to experience weightlessness. They do have a gravitational force acting on them, though!
The satellite and all its contents are in free fall, so there is no normal force. This is what leads to the experience of weightlessness.

Kepler’s Laws and Newton's Synthesis
Kepler’s laws describe planetary motion.
1st law - The orbit of each planet is an ellipse, with the Sun at one focus.
![Page 8: Thursday December 9, 2010 Ch 8.1 Motion in the Heavens and on Earth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649caf5503460f949729c8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Kepler’s Laws and Newton's Synthesis
2nd law - An imaginary line drawn from each planet to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal times.
![Page 9: Thursday December 9, 2010 Ch 8.1 Motion in the Heavens and on Earth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649caf5503460f949729c8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Kepler’s Laws and Newton's Synthesis
3rd law - The ratio of the square of a planet’s orbital period is proportional to the cube of its mean distance from the Sun.
![Page 10: Thursday December 9, 2010 Ch 8.1 Motion in the Heavens and on Earth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649caf5503460f949729c8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Kepler’s 3rd law
• (Ta/Tb)2 = (ra/rb)3
T= period, r=radius (distance)
Look at example problem on pg 180 to see an application of Kepler’s 3rd law
Then do practice problems 1 and 2 (p180-181) for homework

Newton’s Law of Gravitation
![Page 12: Thursday December 9, 2010 Ch 8.1 Motion in the Heavens and on Earth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649caf5503460f949729c8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Newton’s Law of Universal GravitationEarth’s gravitational force on you is one-half of a Third Law pair
Such a disparity in masses = reaction force undetectable
For bodies more equal in mass it can be significant.
![Page 13: Thursday December 9, 2010 Ch 8.1 Motion in the Heavens and on Earth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649caf5503460f949729c8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation
Gravitational force must be proportional to both masses.
Observing planetary orbits, Newton concluded the gravitational force decreases as the inverse of the square of the distance between the masses.
Law of Universal Gravitation :

Practice Problem
• Two bowling balls each have a mass of 6.8 kg. They are located next to each other with their centers 21.8 cm apart. What gravitational force do they exert on each other?
![Page 15: Thursday December 9, 2010 Ch 8.1 Motion in the Heavens and on Earth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649caf5503460f949729c8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Solution
• F=Gm1m2/r2
• F=6.67E-11 Nm2/kg2 ((6.8kg) 2/(0.218 m) 2)
• F=6.5E-8 N

Gravity Near the Earth’s Surface; Geophysical Applications
Relate the gravitational constant to the local acceleration of gravity. On the surface of the Earth:
Solving for g gives:

Kepler’s Laws and Newton's Synthesis
Kepler’s laws can be derived from Newton’s laws
Irregularities in planetary motion led to the discovery of Neptune, and planets outside our solar system.
![Page 19: Thursday December 9, 2010 Ch 8.1 Motion in the Heavens and on Earth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649caf5503460f949729c8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Using Newton’s Laws and Universal Gravitation together
Newton’s second law and Kepler’s third law work together to provide information about planetary motion and gravitational attraction amongst them.
Ms = mass of sun
Mp= mass of planet
r = radius of the planets orbit.
![Page 20: Thursday December 9, 2010 Ch 8.1 Motion in the Heavens and on Earth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649caf5503460f949729c8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Newton’s version of Kepler’s 3rd
When using Newton’s second law…Fg= mp*ac.
ac= 42r/T2 (see p164)
• Fg = mp42r/T2 set this equal to NLGrav and solve for T2
• T2= (42/Gms)r3
(Kepler’s 3rd law…”the square of the period is proportional to the cube of the distance that separates the masses”)

Ch 8.2
Using the Law of Universal Gravitation
![Page 23: Thursday December 9, 2010 Ch 8.1 Motion in the Heavens and on Earth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649caf5503460f949729c8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Motion of Planets and Satellites
Newton discovered 1. projectile launched at a horizontal speed of 8 km/s and a height of 150 km above earth’s surface will fall to earth at same rate and curvature of the earth(very little air resistance at 150km)
2. it will stay 150 km above the surface and travel at a constant speed of 8 km/s. We us this information to put objects into orbit around the earth.
![Page 24: Thursday December 9, 2010 Ch 8.1 Motion in the Heavens and on Earth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649caf5503460f949729c8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Newton and Kepler
Objects in orbit exhibit uniform circular motion: ac = v2/r
• Newton’s second law then becomes: F=mv2/r
• Combining this with Newton’s Law of Gravitation givesGMeM/r2 = mv2/r
• Solving for speed:
v = GMe/r
• Solving for time (period) gives
T = 2 * r3/GMe
![Page 25: Thursday December 9, 2010 Ch 8.1 Motion in the Heavens and on Earth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649caf5503460f949729c8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
HINT
***When solving problems where you need the radius of an object in orbit*****
Add the height above earth’s surface to the radius of the earth (6.38 X 106 m).
Sometimes, due to sig figs, the height above Earth’s surface is so small compared to rE that it is the same as using rE.
![Page 26: Thursday December 9, 2010 Ch 8.1 Motion in the Heavens and on Earth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649caf5503460f949729c8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Practice Problem
A satellite orbits earth 3.25 X 105 m above earth’s surface. What is its speed in orbit and its period?
![Page 27: Thursday December 9, 2010 Ch 8.1 Motion in the Heavens and on Earth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649caf5503460f949729c8/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Find the velocity first
1. To find the radius add 3.25 X 105 to Earth’s radius which is 6.38 X 106 m.
r = 6.71 X 106
2. V = GMe/r
3. V = 7.71 X 103 m/s
![Page 28: Thursday December 9, 2010 Ch 8.1 Motion in the Heavens and on Earth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649caf5503460f949729c8/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Find the Period
T = 2 r3/GMe
OR use v=d/t and remember d = 2r. We get T = 2r/v*You will get the same answer for both equations. Write
this equation in your notes because you will probably make less math mistakes if you use it instead.
T = 5547 seconds

Weight and Weightlessness
• By using Newton’s law of universal gravitation and his second law motion we were able to calculate acceleration due to gravity.
• g=GMe/Re2
• As you move further from the center of earth, gravity is reduced.
![Page 31: Thursday December 9, 2010 Ch 8.1 Motion in the Heavens and on Earth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649caf5503460f949729c8/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Gravitational Field
Common forces that we see acting in day to day life are contact forces. Gravity is not a contact force, it is a long distance force. This was a concept that Newton initially struggled with.
![Page 32: Thursday December 9, 2010 Ch 8.1 Motion in the Heavens and on Earth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649caf5503460f949729c8/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Gravitational Field
Later Michael Faraday developed the idea that anything with a mass is surrounded by a gravitational field. This results in a force of attraction. To find the strength of the gravitational field you use the equation:
g=F/m
![Page 33: Thursday December 9, 2010 Ch 8.1 Motion in the Heavens and on Earth](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649caf5503460f949729c8/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Gravitational Vs. Inertial Mass
Inertial Mass – the ratio of the net force exerted on an object and its acceleration. This is measured by applying force to an object and measuring its acceleration.
F = m*aGravitational Mass – determines the size of
the gravitational attraction between two objects
gravitational mass = r2Fgravity/Gm
