The Force of Gravity

We know that the Moon orbits the Earth. Is there a force on the Moon? Yes!!!! How do you know? The Moon is moving in a circular path around the Earth - It is changing directions What does Newton's Third Law say about this? Since the Earth pulls on the Moon with its gravity, the moon pulls on the Earth with its gravity. What Type of force is this and what supplies it? What do we call these two forces? It is a centripetal force and it is provided by the gravitational force between the Earth & the Moon. They are an action-reaction pair. How do these action-reaction pairs compare? They are the same magnitude (size)!!!

So, the Earth pulls on the Moon with a gravitational force. Newton’s Third Law of Motion tells us that the moon must also be pulling on the Earth!! We see this in the tides. The Moon’s gravitational pull on the Earth pulls on the water, raising its level. Newton’s Third Law also tells us that the Moon’s gravitational pull on the Earth is the same size as the Earth’s gravitational force on the Moon. EVEN THOUGH THE MOON IS MUCH SMALLER!!!!!! This would be a VERRRRRRRRRRY important thing to remember for a test!!!!!! {HINT,HINT}

Firing cannon balls around the Earth a large mountain, what happens? Newton's Thought Experiment Firing cannon balls around the Earth If you were to fire a cannonball horizontally from the top of a large mountain, what happens? Fire it a little faster!! Fire it even faster!! Fire it at 11.3 km/s!! Fire it slowly!! It falls towards the Earth in a curved (parabolic) path. At just the right speed (11.3 km/s) the cannonball's curved path matches the curvature of the Earth and the cannonball falls around the Earth. It is in orbit.

This is how we put satellites into orbit around the Earth. We say that satellites are in Free Fall around the Earth. This is why astronauts experience weightlessness while orbitting the Earth, they are falling around the Earth!!! It is NOT because there is no gravity!!!!!! We can say the Moon is falling around the Earth. I guess Chicken Little was right!!!!

Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation Every object with mass attracts every other object with mass with a gravitational force. If it has mass, it has a gravitational pull – dust, small rocks, even you!!!!! This gravitational force is directly proportional to product of the masses of BOTH objects. 1) The more mass an object has, the more gravitational pull it has!! 2) The gravitational pull between two objects depends on both masses (Newton’s Third Law)!!! This gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the centers of the two objects. 1) If the two objects get farther apart, then the gravitational force between them decreases very quickly. 2) If the two objects get closer together, then the gravitational force between them increases very quickly. 3) The gravitational pull of an object extends forever (to infinity), although it gets real small really fast.

Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation The Equation Where G is known as the universal gravitational constant: -

Find the gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon Find the gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon. The mass of the Earth is 5.97 X 1024-kg and the mass of the moon is 7.35 X 1022-kg. The distance between the Earth and the Moon is 3.84 X 108-m. -

The gravitational force between these two objects is 100-N. What will happen to the gravitational force if the red object’s mass doubles? Since only the mass of only one object changes, it is all that affects the change in the gravitational force. So doubling the mass also doubles the gravitational force:

So doubling both masses quadruples the gravitational force: The gravitational force between these two objects is 100-N. What will happen to the gravitational force if the BOTH objects’ mass doubles? Since both masses change, it is the product of the masses that affects the change in the gravitational force. So doubling both masses quadruples the gravitational force:

So doubling the distance gets you one fourth the gravitational force: The gravitational force between these two objects is 100-N. What will happen to the gravitational force if the distance between the objects doubles? Since only the distance changes, it is all that affects the change in the gravitational force. So doubling the distance gets you one fourth the gravitational force:

So halving the distance gets you four times the gravitational force: The gravitational force between these two objects is 100-N. What will happen to the gravitational force if the distance between them is cut in half? Since only the distance changes, it is all that affects the change in the gravitational force. So halving the distance gets you four times the gravitational force:

The gravitational force between two objects is 75-N The gravitational force between two objects is 75-N. If the mass of one object doubles, the mass of the other object triples and the distance between them is cut in half, find the new gravitational force between these two objects. SO……
