Proportionality Direct proportion Inverse proportion Inverse square law
7
When objects fall towards the earth they accelerate Galileo found objects accelerate toward the earth at the same rate regardless of their mass Newton observed that planets experience a force on them due to the sun He saw that this force varied inversely with the square of the distance between the planet and the sun He also observed that an apple’s acceleration in free fall agreed with the
8
The force the earth exerts on the apple is equal to the force the apple exerts on the earth This attraction of two objects must be proportional to the objects’ masses This is known as a Gravitational force Newton felt this would work anywhere in the universe This leads to a universal law that objects attract other objects with a force proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the distance between them

11
What would the force be if the distance is cut in half? 1. 25 N 2. 50 N 3. 100 N 4. 200 N 5. 400 N
12
What if each mass is doubled? 1. 25 N 2. 50 N 3. 100 N 4. 200 N 5. 400 N
13
What is G??????? Henry Cavendish Used two large and two small lead spheres Found the value of G 6.67x10 -11 Found mass of the Earth
14
Calculate the mass of the Earth
15
Acceleration due to gravity Anything experiencing a net force will accelerate All objects on the earth are experiencing a gravitational force from the earth, and they are all the same distance from the center of the earth (radius of the earth) Mass of the earth does not change
17
What is the gravitation force on a person with a mass of 75 kg by the earth if they are 6378 km apart? (M E =5.97*10 24 kg) 1. 734 N 2. 73400 N 3. 7.34*10 6 N 4. 7.34*10 8 N
18
A satellite is one earth’s radius above the earth. How does it’s acceleration compare to that on the surface of the earth? 1. ¼ g 2. ½ g 3. g 4. 2g 5. 4g
19
Jupiter is 300 times as massive as the earth and has a radius of 10 times that of the earth. Estimate g on Jupiter. 1. 3g 2. 9g 3. 30g 4. 90g
20
Velocity of satellites Satellites experience a gravitational force This force is the centripetal force
21
A satellite obits the earth 225 km above the surface. What is the satellite’s speed? (mass earth 5.97x10 24 kg, radius of earth 6.38x10 6 m) 1. 1.33x10 6 m/s 2. 4.2x10 4 m/s 3. 7.76x10 3 m/s 4. 1.5x10 3 m/s
22

23
A satellite moving at a constant speed of 8x10 3 m/s, is 200 km from the earth’s surface. What is the mass of the satellite? 1. 1.2x10 3 kg 2. 2.5x10 4 kg 3. 4.7x10 4 kg 4. I don’t know because I can’t calculate it 0 of 20
24
To calculate the mass of an unknown planet, a satellite is sent into orbit around it at a distance of 3.45x10 6 m from its center. If the satellite is moving at a speed of 3.74x10 5 m/s, what is the mass of the planet? 1. 1.93x10 22 kg 2. 7.23x10 27 kg 3. 8.25x10 27 kg 4. 3.69x10 29 kg 0 of 20
