Each group presents their problem
Homework: 25, 26,27,28 Each group presents their problem
3
In: If the moon has a mass of × 1022 kg, an orbital speed of km/s an orbital radius of km, What is the gravitational force of the earth moon system?
4
Objective: To find out about the law of universal gravitation.
Success criteria: You will be able to solve universal gravitational problems.
5
Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation
7
Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation:
9
Problem: Oscar (mass=65kg) and Olivia (mass=45 kg) sit 2 meters apart in physics class. What is the force of gravitational attraction between them? Does this cause them to drift toward each other?
10
Gravitational force is a vector
11
Anything that spreads out from a point source
Inverse square laws Anything that spreads out from a point source Gravitational force Electrical force Sound intensity Light intensity Radiation intensity
12
Inverse square law - gravitation
13
Inverse square law – light intensity
14
Light intensity
15
Inverse square law - radiation
17
Inverse square law – electric force
18
Sound spreads out as an inverse square
19
For the rest of class: 1-Gravitational problem set
2-Lab: centripetal force Finish the calculations Analysis Conclusion due at the end of class.
20
Out: If the distance between two point particles is doubled, then the gravitational force between them: Decreases by a factor of 4 Decreases by a factor of 2 Increases by a factor of 2 Increases by a factor of 4 Cannot be determined without knowing the masses.
