4. © 2005 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Addison-Wesley How do we describe motion? Precise definitions to describe motion: speed: rate at which object moves 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/s 2 )

5. © 2005 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Addison-Wesley The Acceleration of Gravity (some not in book) g = 9.8 m/sec2 Objects fall together Inertia (motion in absence of force) Galileo was one of the giants on who’s shoulders Newton stood. Galileo’s experiments with falling objects showed that: Objects fall together (not counting friction of air resistance). On Earth, g ≈ 10 m/s 2 : speed increases 10 m/s with each second of falling (g = 9.8 m/s 2 ). Inertia (motion in absence of force: uniform rectilinear or at rest)

10. © 2005 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Addison-Wesley How is mass different from weight? mass – the amount of matter in an object weight – the force that acts upon an object You are weightless in free-fall!

13. © 2005 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Addison-Wesley Why are astronauts weightless in space? There IS gravity in space… weightlessness is due to a constant state of free-fall: Ask me about another way to explain this

14. © 2005 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Addison-Wesley What have we learned? How do we describe motion? Speed = distance/time Speed + direction => velocity (v) Change in velocity => acceleration (a)

18. © 2005 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Addison-Wesley Realized the same physical laws that operate on Earth also operate in the heavens  one universe Discovered 3 laws of motion and law of gravitation Much more: experiments with light; first reflecting telescope, calculus… How did Newton change our view of the Universe? Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727)

19. © 2005 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Addison-Wesley 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 (this he adopted from Galileo).

20. © 2005 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Addison-Wesley Newton’s second law of motion: Force = mass  acceleration (F= ma)

21. © 2005 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Addison-Wesley Newton’s third law of motion: For every force, there is always an equal and opposite reaction force (action = reaction).

Are the following true or false? 1.The force of the car on the truck is equal and opposite to the force of the truck on the car. True 2.The change of velocity of the car is the same as the change of velocity of the truck. False (remember F = ma, if “F” is the same and the masses are very different then “a”, which is the change in velocity must also be very different)

28. © 2005 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Addison-Wesley What have we learned? How did Newton change our view of the universe? 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.

33. © 2005 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Addison-Wesley What determines the strength of gravity? The Universal Law of Gravitation 1.Every mass attracts every other mass. 2.Attraction is directly proportional to the product of their masses. 3.Attraction is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers..

34. © 2005 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Addison-Wesley How does Newton’s law of gravity extend Kepler’s laws? (some not in book) Ellipses are not the only orbital paths. Orbits can be: bound Circle (v = v c ) Ellipse (v > v c ) unbound Parabola (v = v e ) Hyperbola (v > v e ) Circular and Escape velocities ( v c and v e )  v c =  GM/R  v e =  2GM/R circular and

37. Newton generalized Kepler’s Third Law: Newton’s version of Kepler’s Third Law : If a small object orbits a larger one and you measure the orbiting object’s orbital period AND average orbital distance THEN you can calculate the mass of the larger object. Examples: Calculate mass of Sun from Earth’s orbital period (1 year) and average distance (1 AU). Calculate mass of Earth from orbital period and distance of a satellite. Calculate mass of Jupiter from orbital period and distance of one of its moons. What about asteroids?

38. © 2005 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Addison-Wesley Newton’s version of Kepler’s Third Law p = orbital period a=average orbital distance (between centers) (M 1 + M 2 ) = sum of object masses

39. © 2005 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Addison-Wesley How do gravity and energy together explain orbits? Orbits cannot change spontaneously. An object’s orbit can only change if it somehow gains or loses orbital energy = kinetic energy + gravitational potential energy (due to orbit).

40. © 2005 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Addison-Wesley  So what can make an object gain or lose orbital energy? Friction or atmospheric drag Rocket engine A gravitational encounter.

41. © 2005 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Addison-Wesley If an object gains enough orbital energy, it may escape (change from a bound to unbound orbit) escape velocity from Earth ≈ 11 km/s from sea level (about 40,000 km/hr, 25,000 mph) What is Earth’s circular velocity at sea level?

48. © 2005 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Addison-Wesley Tides Gravitational force decreases with (distance) 2 –The Moon’s pull on Earth is strongest on the side facing the Moon, and weakest on the opposite side. The Earth gets stretched along the Earth-Moon line. The oceans rise relative to land at these points.

51. Special Topic: Why does the Moon always show the same face to Earth? Moon rotates in the same amount of time that it orbits… But why?

52. © 2005 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Addison-Wesley Tidal friction… Tidal friction gradually slows Earth rotation (and makes Moon get farther from Earth). Moon once orbited faster (or slower); tidal friction caused it to “lock” in synchronous rotation with its orbit around Earth.

53. © 2005 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Addison-Wesley How does Newton’s law of gravity allow us to extend Kepler’s laws? Applies to other objects, not just planets. Includes unbound orbit shapes: parabola, hyperbola We can now measure the mass of other systems. What have we learned? What determines the strength of gravity? Directly proportional to the product of the masses (M x m) Inversely proportional to the square of the separation d

54. © 2005 Pearson Education Inc., publishing as Addison-Wesley What have we learned? How do gravity and energy together allow us to understand orbits? Gravity determines orbits Orbiting object cannot change orbit without energy transfer Enough energy -> escape velocity -> object leaves. How does gravity cause tides? Gravity stretches Earth along Earth-Moon line because the near side is pulled harder than the far side.
