Announcements Website http://casa.colorado.edu/~wcash/APS1020/APS1020.html First Homework Due January 31 First observatory session January 31 at 7pm, weather allowing.

Motion x = v * t v = a * t x = ½ * a * t2

Question A spaceship accelerates from rest at 20gees (200m/s/s) steadily for 1.2 days (105 seconds). How far has it travelled? 2x107m 5000m 1012m 104m

Newton’s Laws Law #1: A body at rest or in motion remains that way unless acted upon by an outside force. Law #2: a=F/m Law #3: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Law #1 A body in motion remains that way unless acted upon by an outside force. No Forces Contact Forces (electrical) Gravity

Law #2 F=ma a=F/m Have a mass Apply a force Acceleration Results F = Force m = mass a = acceleration F=ma Have a mass Apply a force Acceleration Results a=F/m Note: Law #1 is special case of Law #2 (F=0 a=0)

Question A force of 250 Newtons is applied to a 100kg object. How fast does it accelerate? 2.5m/s/s 25m/s/s 0.4m/s/s 4m/s/s

Law #3 For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. For every ma there is an equal and opposite ma. Big one doesn’t move much Equal Mass Implies Equal Acceleration

But What is F? a=F/m not enough because we don’t know what F is. Need a new law to describe forces There are Four KNOWN Forces Gravity Weak Nuclear Force Electromagnetism Strong Nuclear Force In order of strength Gravity Weakest

Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation (Law #3 Satisfied) G = 6.7x10-11 in mks units Value of G is measured. Nobody knows why it is the value it is. Electrical Force Equation Similar

Question What is the weight of a 100kg person standing on the surface of the Earth. (in Newtons) M=6x1024kg. R=6000km a) 6.7x1021N b) 1.6x108N c) 1000N d) 6.7x10-3N

But What is a Force? Newtons Laws Give Value, and Show what to do. Force is an Exchange of Virtual Particles

Orbits Falls Freely Hits Surface Misses Surface From Sideways Motion

Physics of Orbits sideways velocity central acceleration If you balance things just right, you have an orbit. Too Little Sideways V = Crash Too Much = Escape to Infinity Earth

Circular Orbit circle implies Kepler’s Law

Example Calculate the period of a planet that is the same distance from the star Sirius that the Earth is from the Sun. r=1.5x1013cm G=6.7x10-8 M=4x1033g About 9 Months

Non-Circular Formula 2r Same Formula for P Fast Focus Same Formula for P Use half orbit length for r Fast Slow

Escape Velocity Fall from Large Height Same Energy Needed to Reverse and Fly Away Escape velocity is the speed at which object must be thrown upward to escape and never come down.

Example Earth R=6x108cm M=5x1027g

Question What is the escape velocity of the Moon? M=7.35x1022kg, R=1738km a)2000km/s b)200km/s c)20km/s d)2km/s e)0.2km/s

Answer: D Moon R=1700km M=7x1022kg

Surface Gravity Force of Gravity at Surface of Body is So The acceleration of a body near the surface. Independent of mass. or Remember Galileo and the Leaning Tower of Pisa

Gravity on Earth 1 gee is 9.8m/s per second

Spin Up When a body is spinning “Angular Momentum” is conserved For spherical body: As R decreases P decreases Spin up of ice skater. Same for Collapsing Stars

The Sun

The Sun Falls into “Disk Stability” 99.9% Ended in Sun (0.1% in Jupiter) Probably the Same Around All Stars -- Planets are Common Shoots Planet-Size Bullets into Space

Most of Mass Forms Ball in Center A Star Is a Hot Ball of Hydrogen (plus 11% Helium) One Million Miles

Question Why is the Sun spherical while the planets orbit in a disk? A) They actually orbit in a sphere B) The planets hit each other if they don’t all lie in the same plane C) The Sun has lost spin over time, while planet orbits cannot D) The Sun will eventually evolve to a disk

Answer: C The surface of the Sun is orbiting at far less than orbital speed. (just like the Earth) Back when it was first forming it spun much faster and was closer to a disk.

What Stops the Fall? Gravity Gets Stronger As Material Gets More Dense R smaller implies F greater The smaller it gets, the faster it falls in! Why doesn’t it just become a black hole? Or worse yet, a point-like singularity of mass?

Scaling Scientists often do “scaling” do avoid all those large numbers. For example, the Sun is ABOUT a million times the mass of the Earth and a hundred times the size.

Question What is the surface gravity of the Moon in gees? R=.01Re, M=.25Me? a).04 b)4 c)16 d).16

Answer d

Temperature Temperature is a Measure of the Random Kinetic Energy per Particle The faster the atoms move, the higher the temperature. But we’re talking about random motion. If they all move together, then the object moves.

Thermal Pressure Thermal Gas Pressure Balances Gravitational Pressure Balloon Every Time An Bounces Off Edge of Balloon It Keeps It From Collapsing That’s Pressure Pressure is Force per Unit Area

Pressure is Proportional to Temperature Low Temperature Atoms Move Slowly High Temperature Atoms Move Fast

A Star Is Held Up By Thermal Pressure From Below Gravity Outer Mass Individual Atoms Don’t Orbit Entire Inside of Star Like This They Jostle Each Other But Effect Is The Same

Temperature Scales Fahrenheit – Celsius Kelvin 0=salt water freeze 100=human body Celsius 0=pure water freeze 100=water boil (sea level) C=(F-32)x5/9 Kelvin 0=absolute zero 100 degrees between freeze and boil K=C+273 -273C = 0K = Absolute Zero At Absolute Zero Atoms Stop Moving

Thermal Pressure Pressure Is Proportional to Temperature x Density P Pressure V Volume n # moles R Constant T Temperature (K) Ideal Gas Law Chemistry Style P Pressure V Volume N # atoms k Constant T Temperature (K) Ideal Gas Law Physics Style Pressure Is Proportional to Temperature x Density

A Star Always Balances Gravitational Pressure with Thermal Pressure Pressure Balance A Star Always Balances Gravitational Pressure with Thermal Pressure At Each Point Inside Thermal Pressure (Jostling) Gravity

But We Have a Problem The Sun is Luminous Radiates Energy Into Space Luminosity is Power Radiated -- ergs/second The Energy Comes From Motion of the Atoms Temperature Drops What Happens When T Drops?

Luminosity Effect When T Drops Thermal Pressure Can’t Hold Off Gravity The Sun Shrinks -- Radius Drops Energy is Released as Gas Falls Deeper Into Gravity Field Temperature Rises Note – Loss of Energy Results in a) Temperature Rise b) Radius Decrease

But Wait A Minute… Isn’t the Sun Stable? The Sun has been remarkably stable for 4 billion years as evidenced by geological records. This collapse is the process by which the Sun coalesced. But then it stopped. Why? The Sun collapsed until a new source of energy offset the losses to radiation. NUCLEAR FUSION --- IT’S BURNING HYDROGEN As long as it burns H at this rate, it will be stable.

Fusion Increases with T As T in core of Sun increases so does energy production Sun shrank steadily, with T rising until, about 10 million years after it started to form, it reached its current size There is a VERY fast increase in nuclear energy production above 1,000,000K. At 15,000,000K in the core nuclear power generated finally balanced the luminosity from the surface. That’s the equilibrium we are still in.

The Nuclear Core Envelope 1 Million K core 15x106K Photosphere 5000K At Surface

Cosmic Composition H hydrogen 89% by number He helium 11% O oxygen 0.1% C carbon 0.06% N nitrogen 0.015% Pretty much the composition of the entire universe. Sun and Jupiter have this composition Earth does not.

Fusion vs. Fission Fusion: Atoms unite and release energy (Fuse) New atom must be no heavier than iron z=26 Fission: Heavy atoms split to release energy Initial atom must be heavier than iron WWII Nukes were fission bombs made of U and Pu Sun works on FUSION of H into He

Proton-Proton Chain Bottom Line: H+H+H+H  He 1H1 +1H1  1H2 + e+ + n 1H2 +1H1  2He3 + g 2He3 +2He3  2He4 + 1H1 + 1H1 5x106 < T < 2x107K

CNO Cycle 6C12 +1H1  7N13 + g 7N13  6C13 + e+ + n 7N14 +1H1  8O15 + g 8O15  7N15 + e+ + n 2x107 < T < 108K 7N15 +1H1  6C12 + 2He4 Net: 1H1 +1H1 + 1H1 +1H1  2He4 + 2e+ + 4g +2n hydrogen -> helium + energy

Triple-a Reaction 2He4 +2He4  4Be8 + g 4Be8 +2He4  6C12 + g T < 108K 4Be8 +2He4  6C12 + g Must be very dense for this to work Be8 decays back into helium very quickly unless struck by another He4 Too low density in Big Bang Net: 2He4 +2He4 + 2He4 +2He4  6C12 + 2g helium -> carbon + energy
