1 NEWTON S LAW OF GAVITATION: Statement: Every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force which is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them and this force acts alon the line joinin the two particles and independent of the presence of other bodies. Gravitational force is a central force. m attracts m with a ravitational force F directed towards m, m attracts m with a force - F towards m. The force F and - F form action reaction pair, equal in manitude and opposite in direction. F m. m F r Gmm F () r Where, G is constant of proportionality known as universal ravitational constant its Value is 6.67 x 0 - Nm /k. In vector form it is written as Gm ^ m F r r Where r ^ is the unit vector from m to m. Dimensions of G: G F. r m. m [ ][ ] 0 0 M L T M L T G 0 0 [ M L T ] G [ M L T ] Pae of Definition of G: From () we have, F. r G m. m If r, m m, G F Hence, It is defined as the manitude of force of attraction between two bodies each of unit mass and separated by a unit distance. ELATION BETWEEN G AND (ACCELEATION DUE TO GAVITY): Let be the acceleration due to ravity on the earth s surface. Let M be the mass of the earth of radius and m be the mass of the body. On the surface the surface of earth: Weiht of the body ravitational force of attraction. G. Mm m VAIATIONS IN THE VALUE OF : The value of acceleration due to ravity () varies as we o above or below the surface of the earth. It also varies from place to place on the surface of the earth. Variation of with altitude:

2 Consider earth to be a sphere of radius and mass M. The acceleration due to ravity on the surface of earth (point Q in Fi.) is () Consider a point P at a heiht h above the surface of the earth. The acceleration due to ravity at point P is- h () ( + h) Dividin () by () h ( + h) h () ( + h) ( + h) h < h Thus, as we o above the earth s surface acceleration due to ravity oes on decreasin. h h + h h + h h + Q h < < < hiher powers of h/ can be nelected Usin Binomial Theorem, h h h h (4) Usin eq (4) value of acceleration due to ravity can be determined when h is small as compared to. Variation of with depth. Consider the earth to be a sphere of radius and mass M. The acceleration due to ravity at the surface of the earth is () If ρ is density of the earth, then, mass(m) Density (ρ) Volume(V) M ρv 4 But, V π 4 M π ρ Thus, substitutin in eq.() acceleration due to ravity in terms of density is iven by- G 4 π ρ 4 π ρ G () Consider a point P which is in side the earth below the earth s surface at depth d. Its distance from point O is (-d). Pae of

3 A body at point P will experience force only due to the portion of earth of radius (-d). The outer spherical shell, whose thickness is d, will not exert any force on the body at point P. Let M be the mass of the earth of portion of radius (-d) then ' d () ( d) 4 But, M π ( d ) ρ G 4 d π ( d ) ρ ( d) 4 d π ( d ) Gρ (4) Dividin equation (4) by () d d d d (5) Therefore, the value of acceleration due to ravity decreases with depth. The acceleration due to ravity at the centre of earth can be found by substitutin d in equation (5). d 0 centre Variation in the value of due to rotation of the earth : Earth is rotatin about its own axis at an anular velocityω ( one revolution per 4 hours). The line joinin the north and south poles is the axis of rotation. As a result of rotation, every point on the earth moves alon a circular path with the same anular velocity ω. A point at the equator moves in a circle of radius equal to the radius of earth and the centre of the circle is the same as the centre of the earth. For any other point on the earth, the circle of rotation is smaller than this. Consider earth to be a sphere of mass M and radius. Suppose a particle of mass m is situated at point P on the surface of the earth as shown in fiure. Let λ be the latitude of the point i.e. POE λ. Suppose is the acceleration due to ravity in the absence of rotational motion of the earth. In that case, the particle at P would have been attracted toward the centre O of the earth. Therefore true weiht m of the particle is directed toward O and is represented by the vector PA. Due to rotation of earth, let, anular speed of earth is ω the particle at P moves alon a circular path whose centre is C and radius r (CP). Since OPC λ, r cos λ. The centrifual force on the particle due To rotational motion of the earth acts alon the radius of the circular path in outward direction. The manitude of centrifual force is iven by; F C mrω mω cos λ The centrifual force is represented by the vector PB. The apparent The apparent weiht m of the particle is equal to the resultant of actual weiht (m) and the centrifual force F C ( mω cos λ). Complete the paralleloram PAC B. Then diaonal PC of the paralleloram represents the apparent weiht m of the particle. Now, 0 PC ' PA + PB + PA PB COS 80 λ ( ) ( m ') ( m ) + ( m ω cos λ ) + m m ω cos λ Or ( cos λ ) ' m ( ) m ( ) + m ( ω cosλ) ( ω cos λ) m ' 4 ( ) + ω cos λ ω cos λ 4 ' ω ωs λ ω cos λ ( ) + 4 ω cos ' + λ ω cos λ Pae of

4 ω Now, the numerical value of is 4 very small. Hence, ω / will be still smaller. Therefore, nelectin the factor 4 containin ω /, we et, ω cos λ ' ω cos λ + hiher terms Nelectin the terms containin hiher powers of ω cos λ /, we et, ω cos λ ' ' ω cos λ () From equation (), it is clear that acceleration due to ravity a) decreases on account of rotation of the earth b) increases with the increase in the latitude of the place (Q cos λ decreases as λ increases). This means that value of increases as we o from equator to the poles. At equator: At equator λ 0 0 so that cos λ cos 0 0 ' ω () Therefore, value of acceleration due to ravity is minimum at the equator. This is expected because the particle at the equator executes a circle of maximum radius. Therefore, the centrifual force is maximum. At poles: At poles, λ 90 0 so that cos λ cos '. Maximum Hence the value of is maximum at the poles. This is expected because the particle at the pole moves in a circle of zero radius. Therefore, no centrifual force acts on the particle. Definition of Escape velocity (Ve) : Maximum vertical velocity required to take the satellite just out side the earth s ravitational influence is called as escape velocity. If vertical velocity is less than escape velocity, body falls on the earth s surface but if vertical velocity is reater than or equal to escape velocity body oes out of earth s ravitational influence permanently. Definition of critical velocity / orbital velocity (Vc) : It is the horizontal velocity imparted to the satellite so that the satellite orbits around the earth in a stable circular orbit with constant manitude of this velocity. Satellite: A body which orbits in a closed orbit around another larer body, like planets, under the ravitational influence are called satellites. Moon is a natural satellite of earth, INSAT B is an artificial satellite of the earth. Q.Why minimum of two stae rocket is used for the projection of satellite? For a sinle stae rocket carryin satellite, if the velocity of projection is less than escape velocity, the satellite will come back to the earth, and if the velocity of projection is reater than or equal to the escape velocity, the satellite will escape earth s ravitational influence. Hence, is not possible to put a satellite into earth s orbit usin a sinle stae rocket. Hence minimum of two stae rocket is used. The first stae is used to carry the satellite to a certain heiht the second stae and the satellite is rotated throuh 90 0 and with the help of second stae it is projected in the horizontal direction to put the satellite in a stable circular orbit. Pae 4 of

5 POJECTION / LAUNCHING OF A SATELLITE: The satellite is held at the tip of rocket of minimum of two staes. The fuel of the first stae is inited. The up thrust takes the rocket vertically to a certain heiht and the first stae ets detached. By uidance and trackin system, the second stae and satellite is rotated throuh This second stae is used to ive the horizontal velocity to the satellite and finally ets detached. The satellite alone starts orbitin around the earth in a pre-determined orbit. DIFFEENT CASES OF SATELITE MOTION: The nature of the path of satellite depends on the horizontal velocity V h. from the earth s ravitational field after describin a hyperbola. Keplar s Laws FIST LAW: LAW OF OBIT Statement: Each planet revolves around the sun in an elliptical orbit with the sun as one of the foci. Planet (P) revolves in an elliptical orbit as shown in fi with sun (S) at the focus F. When the planet reaches at A it is nearest to sun and this minimum distance (AF ) is called periee. When it is at B, it is at farthest distance from the sun. The distance BF is known as apoee. AB and CD are major and minor axes of ellipse. Case I: If the horizontal velocity is less than a certain velocity called critical velocity, the satellite falls to the earth after followin a spiral path and falls on the earth. Case II: If horizontal velocity is slihtly less than critical velocity then it follows elliptical path with point of projection at apoee. Case III: If the horizontal velocity equals the critical velocity, the satellite orbits in a stable circular orbit. Case IV: If the horizontal velocity is reater than critical velocity but less than escape velocity, the satellite orbits around the earth in a elliptical orbit with point of projection at periee. Case V: If the horizontal velocity equals the escape, velocity the satellite will escape from the earth s ravitational field and be lost in space after describin a parabola. Case V: If the horizontal velocity is reater than escape velocity the satellite will escape Pae 5 of SECOND LAW: LAW OF AEA Statement: The position vector of planet from the sun sweeps out equal area in equal time of the area velocity of the planet around the sun always remains constant. Suppose that at certain time, planet is at B and after time dt it moves to B. Then position vector of planet sweeps out area BF B in time dt. Aain in time δ t the planet moves from A to A and sweeps out area AF A then accordin to second law, areas AF A and BF B must be same or equal. If da is area swept out in dt then areal da velocity is defined as and accordin to dt da second law is constant. dt THID LAW: LAWS OF PEIOD The square of the period of any planet

11 V e V c From equation () COMMUNICATION O SYNCHONOUS O GEOSTATIONAY SATELLITE: Those satellites orbit which once in 4 hours in the equatorial plane of the earth the same direction as that of the spin of the earth i.e. from west to east. Since, the period of rotations of earth about its own axis is also 4 hours, the relative velocity of the satellite w.r.t. earth is zero hence the satellite will always appear stationary above a iven place from the earth s surface. Therefore it is called eostationary satellite and the orbits are called eostationary orbit. The heiht of the eostationary satellite above the earth s surface is approx. 6,000 km. Condition for communication satellite: ) These satellites must be in equatorial plane of the earth. ) The direction of rotation must be same as the direction of rotation of earth in its own axis ) Period of the satellite must be equal to the period of the earth in its own axis. 4) The heiht of the satellite from the earth s surface should be 6000 km USES: ) Used to receive and transmit radio and television sinals. ) It is also used to study earth s atmosphere and forecast weather. Pae of ) It is used in telephone communication. WEIGHTLESSNESS: Feelin of weihtlessness in movin satellite. ) Gravitational attraction towards the centre of earth is by definition weiht of body. ) Weihtlessness is feelin in movin satellite. It is not due to weiht equal to zero. ) When an astronaut is on surface of earth, ravitational force acts on him. This ravitational force is weiht of astronaut. The earth s surface exerts an upward reaction on astronaut and due to this reaction astronaut feels his weiht. 4) In an orbitin satellite astronaut alon with centripetal acceleration directed towards centre of earth. Hence, astronaut can t produce any action on floor of satellite. So floor cannot produce any reaction on him. Due to absence of this reaction astronaut has feelin of weihtlessness. NUMEICALS.
