4.1 Describing Motion
Our goals for learning:• How do we describe motion?• How is mass different from weight?
![Page 6: Understanding Motion, Energy, and Gravityastro.utoronto.ca/~ast201/jan13/jan13_09.pdf · The Physics of Astronomy (Chapter 4 of Text ) Understanding Motion, Energy, and Gravity](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030210/5b5fe4807f8b9a164b8eb0d2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
How do we describe motion?Precise definitions to describe motion:
• Speed: Rate at which object moves
T
speed = distancetime
units of ms�
� �
�
� �
example: speed of 10 m/s
• Velocity: Speed and direction example: 10 m/s, due east
• Acceleration: Any change in velocity units of speed/time (m/s2)
(An acceleration may involve change of direction, not “speed” per se)

The Acceleration of Gravity
• All falling objects accelerate at the same rate (not counting friction of air resistance).
• On Earth, g ≈ 10 m/s2: speed increases 10 m/s with each second of falling.
![Page 8: Understanding Motion, Energy, and Gravityastro.utoronto.ca/~ast201/jan13/jan13_09.pdf · The Physics of Astronomy (Chapter 4 of Text ) Understanding Motion, Energy, and Gravity](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030210/5b5fe4807f8b9a164b8eb0d2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Acceleration of Gravity (g)
• Galileo showed that g is the same for all falling objects, regardless of their mass.

Momentum and Force
• Momentum = mass × velocity• A net force changes momentum, which
generally means an acceleration (change in velocity)
• Rotational momentum of a spinning or orbiting object is known as angular momentum

Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727)
How did Newton change our view of the universe?
![Page 20: Understanding Motion, Energy, and Gravityastro.utoronto.ca/~ast201/jan13/jan13_09.pdf · The Physics of Astronomy (Chapter 4 of Text ) Understanding Motion, Energy, and Gravity](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030210/5b5fe4807f8b9a164b8eb0d2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
What are Newton’s three laws of motion?
Newton’s first law of motion: An object moves at constant velocity unless a net force acts to change its speed or direction.

– He discovered laws of motion & gravitation– He realized these same laws of physics were identical in
the universe and on Earth• What are Newton’s Three Laws of Motion?
– 1. Object moves at constant velocity if no net force is acting.
– 2. Force = mass × acceleration– 3. For every force there is an equal and opposite reaction
force

4.3 Conservation Laws in Astronomy:Our goals for learning:• Why do objects move at constant velocity if
no force acts on them?• What keeps a planet rotating and orbiting
the Sun?• Where do objects get their energy?
![Page 29: Understanding Motion, Energy, and Gravityastro.utoronto.ca/~ast201/jan13/jan13_09.pdf · The Physics of Astronomy (Chapter 4 of Text ) Understanding Motion, Energy, and Gravity](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030210/5b5fe4807f8b9a164b8eb0d2/html5/thumbnails/29.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 30: Understanding Motion, Energy, and Gravityastro.utoronto.ca/~ast201/jan13/jan13_09.pdf · The Physics of Astronomy (Chapter 4 of Text ) Understanding Motion, Energy, and Gravity](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030210/5b5fe4807f8b9a164b8eb0d2/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
What keeps a planet rotating and orbiting the Sun?
![Page 31: Understanding Motion, Energy, and Gravityastro.utoronto.ca/~ast201/jan13/jan13_09.pdf · The Physics of Astronomy (Chapter 4 of Text ) Understanding Motion, Energy, and Gravity](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030210/5b5fe4807f8b9a164b8eb0d2/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 [not exactly true: tidal forces of Sun and Moon exert small changes over time...]
angular momentum = mass x velocity x radius
![Page 32: Understanding Motion, Energy, and Gravityastro.utoronto.ca/~ast201/jan13/jan13_09.pdf · The Physics of Astronomy (Chapter 4 of Text ) Understanding Motion, Energy, and Gravity](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030210/5b5fe4807f8b9a164b8eb0d2/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Angular momentum conservation also explains why objectsrotate faster as they shrink in radius:
FasterSlower
![Page 33: Understanding Motion, Energy, and Gravityastro.utoronto.ca/~ast201/jan13/jan13_09.pdf · The Physics of Astronomy (Chapter 4 of Text ) Understanding Motion, Energy, and Gravity](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030210/5b5fe4807f8b9a164b8eb0d2/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Where do objects get their energy?
• Energy makes matter move.
• Energy is conserved, but it can:– Transfer from one object to another– Change in form
![Page 34: Understanding Motion, Energy, and Gravityastro.utoronto.ca/~ast201/jan13/jan13_09.pdf · The Physics of Astronomy (Chapter 4 of Text ) Understanding Motion, Energy, and Gravity](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030210/5b5fe4807f8b9a164b8eb0d2/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Basic Types of Energy
• Kinetic (motion)• Radiative (light)• Stored or potential
Energy can change type but cannot be destroyed.
![Page 35: Understanding Motion, Energy, and Gravityastro.utoronto.ca/~ast201/jan13/jan13_09.pdf · The Physics of Astronomy (Chapter 4 of Text ) Understanding Motion, Energy, and Gravity](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030210/5b5fe4807f8b9a164b8eb0d2/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
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.
![Page 36: Understanding Motion, Energy, and Gravityastro.utoronto.ca/~ast201/jan13/jan13_09.pdf · The Physics of Astronomy (Chapter 4 of Text ) Understanding Motion, Energy, and Gravity](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030210/5b5fe4807f8b9a164b8eb0d2/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Temperature Scales
![Page 37: Understanding Motion, Energy, and Gravityastro.utoronto.ca/~ast201/jan13/jan13_09.pdf · The Physics of Astronomy (Chapter 4 of Text ) Understanding Motion, Energy, and Gravity](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030210/5b5fe4807f8b9a164b8eb0d2/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Thermal energy is a measure of the total kinetic energy of allthe particles in a substance. It therefore depends both ontemperature AND densityExample:
More thermal energy
![Page 38: Understanding Motion, Energy, and Gravityastro.utoronto.ca/~ast201/jan13/jan13_09.pdf · The Physics of Astronomy (Chapter 4 of Text ) Understanding Motion, Energy, and Gravity](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030210/5b5fe4807f8b9a164b8eb0d2/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Gravitational Potential Energy
• On Earth, depends on:– object’s mass (m)– strength of gravity (g)– distance object could
potentially fall
![Page 39: Understanding Motion, Energy, and Gravityastro.utoronto.ca/~ast201/jan13/jan13_09.pdf · The Physics of Astronomy (Chapter 4 of Text ) Understanding Motion, Energy, and Gravity](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030210/5b5fe4807f8b9a164b8eb0d2/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Gravitational Potential Energy• In space, an object or gas cloud has more gravitational
energy when it is spread out than when it contracts.⇒A contracting cloud converts gravitational potential
energy to thermal energy.
![Page 40: Understanding Motion, Energy, and Gravityastro.utoronto.ca/~ast201/jan13/jan13_09.pdf · The Physics of Astronomy (Chapter 4 of Text ) Understanding Motion, Energy, and Gravity](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030210/5b5fe4807f8b9a164b8eb0d2/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Mass-Energy• Mass itself is a form of potential energy
E = mcE = mc22
• A small amount of mass can release a great deal of energy• Concentrated energy can spontaneously turn into particles (for example, in particle accelerators)• In the early Universe after the Big Bang, radiation was the dominant “mass” in the Universe!
![Page 41: Understanding Motion, Energy, and Gravityastro.utoronto.ca/~ast201/jan13/jan13_09.pdf · The Physics of Astronomy (Chapter 4 of Text ) Understanding Motion, Energy, and Gravity](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030210/5b5fe4807f8b9a164b8eb0d2/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Conservation of Energy
• Energy can be neither created nor destroyed.• It can change form or be exchanged between
objects.• The total energy content of the Universe was
determined in the Big Bang and remains the same today.
![Page 42: Understanding Motion, Energy, and Gravityastro.utoronto.ca/~ast201/jan13/jan13_09.pdf · The Physics of Astronomy (Chapter 4 of Text ) Understanding Motion, Energy, and Gravity](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030210/5b5fe4807f8b9a164b8eb0d2/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
What have we learned?• Why do objects move at constant velocity if no force acts on
them?– Conservation of momentum
• What keeps a planet rotating and orbiting the Sun?– Conservation of angular momentum
• Where do objects get their energy?– Conservation of energy: energy cannot be created or
destroyed but only transformed from one type to another. – Energy comes in three basic types: kinetic, potential,
radiative.
