Prepared by Vince Zaccone For Campus Learning Assistance Services at UCSB GRAVITY Any pair of objects, anywhere in the universe, feel a mutual attraction due to gravity. There are no exceptions – if you have mass, every other mass is attracted to you, and you are attracted to every other mass. Look around the room – everybody here is attracted to you!

Prepared by Vince Zaccone For Campus Learning Assistance Services at UCSB GRAVITY Any pair of objects, anywhere in the universe, feel a mutual attraction due to gravity. There are no exceptions – if you have mass, every other mass is attracted to you, and you are attracted to every other mass. Look around the room – everybody here is attracted to you! Newton’s law of gravitation gives us a formula to calculate the attractive force between 2 objects: m 1 and m 2 are the masses, and r is the center-to-center distance between them G is the gravitational constant – it’s tiny: G≈6.674* Nm 2 /kg 2 m1 m2 r F 1 on 2 F 2 on 1 Use this formula to find the magnitude of the gravity force. Use a diagram or common sense to find the direction. The force will always be toward the other mass.

Find the net gravitational force on planet H (the middle one). Planet Hollywood: mass=6 x kg Planet of the Apes: mass=6 x kg Daily Planet: mass=3 x kg m3 x m

Find the net gravitational force on planet H (the middle one). Planet Hollywood: mass=6 x kg Planet of the Apes: mass=6 x kg Daily Planet: mass=3 x kg m3 x m We should start by defining our coordinate system. Let’s put the origin at planet H and say positive is to the right.
