What is the centripetal acceleration of the moon? 17:50 What force causes this acceleration? Isaac Newton & The Apple It's a warm summer night in ancient Greece... You look up at the ancient sky, and this is what you see... Erathosthenes *not to scale Motion of stars in the sky Celestial Sphere Some of the stars seemed to change position each night, so they were named planets, or wanderers Mars Retrograde Motion Retrograde motion was one of the biggest problems for early "modelbuilder" astronomers Early models for planetary motion Models were built on perfect circles, and circles moving around circles Geocentric Earthcentered universe The early models were ugly, but they worked. The Copernican model was elegant, but it couldn't accurately predict the motion of the planets Johannes Kepler (15711630) Kepler was able to put together a new model that worked with Some people didn't accept this because they believed heavenly motion had to be in perfect circles Back to Newton... Newton believed Gravity was a force between any two objects. When the Earth pulls down on an object, the whole Earth is pulling on it. Where would this pull be directed? Isaac Newton: The Apple and the Moon How far is an apple on a tree from the center of the Earth? What is the acceleration due to gravity for that apple, on the surface of the Earth? If apples fall to the Earth, why doesn’t the moon? Could it be that the same law applies? Imagine a projectile launched horizontally from 4.9 meters above the ground. It will hit the ground after 1 second. If it is launched at 30 m/s, how far will it travel before it hits the ground? But what if the projectile is launched so fast that the curvature of the Earth becomes a concern? What if it is launched so fast, that after one second, it travels far enough that the Earth curves away a distance of 4.9 m. What will its height be after one second? Then after another second, the Earth will have curved away another 4.9 m. What will its height be? This is called _______________ Newton knew that the moon was approximately 60 Earth radii away. He hypothesized that gravity followed a 1/r2 relationship. If this is true, what should acceleration due to gravity be for the moon? Was he correct? How did he know? Universal Gravitation Force of attraction between Yes, Fg = on reference table 19. What is the force of attraction between two 60 kg students separated by 1 meter? Why is it that we don't feel this force in everyday life? 20. What is the force of attraction between a 3 kg mass and a 9 kg mass separated by 0.05 m? 21. The force of attraction between two 10 kg masses is 2 x 106 N. What is the distance between the two masses? 22. The force of attraction between the Earth and a 2000 kg satellite is 5000 N. What is the distance between the center of the Earth and the satellite? Calculator Practice Use the capital E or EE button. Using this, you will be less prone to mistakes. The EE button replaces x10^ 8 x 103 = 8E3 7E14 = 7 x 1014 23. Using the reference table, calculate the force of gravity between the Earth and the Moon. 24. Calculate the force of gravity between two 5x104 kg objects separated by 12 micrometers. Gravitational Fields Force of gravity for an object near the surface of the Earth Fg = We say that near the surface of the Earth, there is a gravitational field strength of Gravitational field is like an _____________ around any object that has mass. It causes other objects to experience a force and acceleration. 25. What is the gravitational field strength on the moon, where a dropped object falls 0.8 meters in 1 second? 26. What is the gravitational field strength on Mars, where acceleration due to gravity is 3.6 m/s2? Henry Cavendish – The man who measured the mass of the Earth Newton knew that gravitational field strength on Earth, (G) x (MEarth) / (radius of Earth)2 = He knew the radius of the Earth, but how could he know G or MEarth? Henry Cavendish used very massive objects and a very well balanced machine to measure the very small force of attraction between two objects on Earth. Once he successfully measured G, he could calculate the mass of the Earth! 27. If Cavendish used two 600 kg spherical masses separated by 1 meter, what would the force of gravity be between them? Draw the direction of force for both masses. What acceleration would each mass experience? 28. The space station orbits the Earth from an altitude of 400 km above Earth’s surface. a. What radial distance should you use? b. Draw the direction of force on both the space station and Earth. c. What is the force of attraction between the 4 x 106 kg space station and the Earth? d. What is the acceleration of the space station due to this force? e. If the space station travels in uniform circular motion, calculate the speed it is traveling. Ratios To find a ratio for Fg (or any quantity, this applies to more than just force or Fg) First take the equation: Fg = Then put a 1 in for anything that stays the same. Put a 2 in for anything that doubles, 3 for triples, 0.5 for halved, etc. Your answer will then be the multiple of the original Fg! 29. What happens to the force of gravity between two objects if the distance between both objects doubles? 30. What happens to centripetal acceleration when speed is halved? 31. A car going around a circle undergoes a centripetal acceleration of 2 m/s2. What would the acceleration be if the speed doubled? Quick Review Circular Motion Universal Gravitation
