16 Inteest in the Two-Body Poblem? Pecise obit popagation: Elaboate models ae necessay to compute the motion of satellites to the high level of accuacy equied fo many applications today (e.g., the GPS system). The - body poblem is not helpful in that context..1 Justification of the two-body model 16

17 Inteest in the Two-Body Poblem? Qualitative undestanding: The main featues of satellite and planet obits can be descibed by a easonably simple appoximation, the two-body poblem. Mission design: Some impotant quantities (ΔV and C 3 ) can be computed faily accuately using the two-body assumption. Inteplanetay tansfe: In lectue 6, we will use a sequence of -body poblems to appoximate a complex inteplanetay mission..1 Justification of the two-body model 17

18 An analytic obit popagato, based on a closed-fom solution, also pesents inteesting featues (e.g., computation time).

19 . The Two-Body Poblem. Gavitational field:..1 Newton s law of univesal gavitation.. The Eath..3 Gavity models and geoid 3 What is the highest point on Eath? 19

20 Gavitational Foce The law of univesal gavitation is an empiical law descibing the gavitational attaction between bodies with mass. It was fist fomulated by Newton in Philosophiae Natualis Pincipia Mathematica (1687). He was able to elate objects falling on the Eath to the motion of the planets. Isaac Newton ( )..1 Newton s law of univesal gavitation 0

21 Gavitational Foce Evey point mass attacts evey othe point mass by a foce pointing along the line intesecting both points. The foce is popotional to the poduct of the two masses and invesely popotional to the squae of the distance between the point masses:..1 Newton s law of univesal gavitation 1

23 Gavitational Constant By measuing the mutual attaction of two bodies of known mass, the gavitational constant G can diectly be detemined fom tosion balance expeiments. Due to the small size of the gavitational foce, G is pesently only known with limited accuacy and was fist detemined many yeas afte Newton s discovey: ( ± ) m 3.kg -1.s - GmM k L ( Newton s law of univesal gavitation 3

24 Gavitational Paamete of a Celestial Body GM The gavitational paamete of the Eath has been detemined with consideable pecision fom the analysis of lase distance measuements of atificial satellites: ± km 3.s -. The uncetainty is 1 to 5e8, much smalle than the uncetainties in G and M sepaately (~1 to 1e4 each)...1 Newton s law of univesal gavitation 4

25 Satellite Lase Ranging TIGO (Concepcion, Chile) LAGEOS-1 Lases measue anges fom gound stations to satellite bone eto-eflectos. Because the events of sending and eceiving a pulse can be egisteed within a few picoseconds, the distance between the gound station and the satellite is detemined within a few millimetes...1 Newton s law of univesal gavitation 5

26 Acceleation of Gavity GM g eath, SL m/s g g g eath, aicaft eath, SL g g eath, ISS eath, SL % % We sense ou own weight by feeling contact foces acting on us in opposition to the foce of gavity: W=mg. If planetay gavity is the only foce acting on a body, then the body is said to be in fee fall. Thee ae, by definition, no contact foces, so thee can be no sense of weight. A peson in fee fall expeiences weightlessness: gavity is still thee, but he cannot feel it...1 Newton s law of univesal gavitation 6

27 Bodies with Spatial Extent Up to now, point masses wee consideed. But an object with a spheically-symmetic distibution of mass exets the same gavitational attaction on extenal bodies as if all the object's mass wee concentated at a point at its cente. = Point mass M Sphee of mass M..1 Newton s law of univesal gavitation 7

30 What is the Highest Point on Eath? Mount Chimboazo (6310 m), located in Ecuado, may be consideed as the highest point on Eath. It is the spot on the suface fathest fom the Eath s cente km (Chimboazo) vs km (Eveest).. The Eath 30

31 The Eath is not a Sphee.. The Eath 31

32 1 st Ode Effect: Equatoial Bulge Because ou planet otates, the centifugal foce tends to pull mateial outwads aound the Equato whee the velocity of otation is at its highest: The Eath s adius is 1km geate at the Equato compaed to the poles. The foce of gavity is weake at the Equato (g=9.78 m/s ) than it is at the poles (g=9.83 m/s )... The Eath 3

33 nd Ode Effect: Mountains and Oceans Rathe than being smooth, the suface of the Eath is elatively lumpy : Thee is about a 0 km diffeence in height between the highest mountain and the deepest pat of the ocean floo... The Eath 33

34 3 d Ode Effect: Intenal Mass Distibution The diffeent mateials that make up the layes of the Eath s cust and mantle ae fa fom homogeneously distibuted: Fo instance, the cust beneath the oceans is a lot thinne and dense than the continental cust... The Eath 34

35 The Idealized Geometical Figue of the Eath Because of its elative simplicity, a flattened ellipsoid, called the efeence ellipsoid, is typically used as the idealized Eath: Ellipsoid of evolution. The size is epesented by the adius at the equato, a. The shape of the ellipsoid is given by the flattening, f, which indicates how much the ellipsoid depats fom spheical. f=(a-b)/a, whee b is the pola adius...3 Gavity models and geoid 35

40 Latitude Also called geodetic latitude..3 Gavity models and geoid 40

41 The Tue Figue of the Eath The geoid is that equipotential suface which would coincide exactly with the mean ocean suface of the Eath, if the oceans wee in equilibium, at est, and extended though the continents: It is by definition a suface to which the foce of gavity is eveywhee pependicula. It is an iegula suface but consideably smoothe than Eath's physical suface. While the latte has excusions of almost 0 km, the total vaiation in the geoid is less than 00 m...3 Gavity models and geoid 41

The model compises 4.6 million tems in the spheical expansion (ode and degee 159). Geoid with a esolution appoaching 10 km (5 x5 ).

45 EGM008 Made Use of Gace Satellites GRACE employs micowave anging system to measue changes in the distance between two identical satellites as they cicle Eath. The anging system detects changes as small as 10 micons ove a distance of 0 km...3 Gavity models and geoid 45

46 Geoid Definition EGM008 contains no explicit infomation about which level suface, out of the infinitely many that may be geneated fom the potential coefficients, is "the" geoid. EGM008 model is theefoe used to compute geoid undulations with espect to WGS84 ellipsoid. The esult is efeed to as WGS84-EGM08 geoid. Geoid calculato fo EGM96: Gavity models and geoid 46

The GPS satellites can only measue heights elative to the WGS84 model, which is an idealized figue of the Eath...3 Gavity models and geoid 49

50 GPS Receives Some GPS eceives can obtain the geoid height ove the WGS ellipsoid fom the cuent position. They ae then able to coect the height above WGS ellipsoid to the height above the geoid. You ae on a boat in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, will the height indicated by this GPS be equal to zeo? Not necessaily, because thee ae tides..3 Gavity models and geoid 50

54 Why So Many Effots??? 1. GPS and an advanced map of the geoid can eplace time-consuming leveling pocedues.. Physics of the Eath s inteio (gavity is diectly linked to the distibution of mass). 3. Undestanding of ocean ciculation, which plays a key ole in enegy exchanges aound the globe. 4. Computation of the motion of satellites to the level of accuacy equied today...3 Gavity models and geoid 54

56 Digession: Geneal Relativity Einstein's theoy is the cuent desciption of gavity in moden physics. This couse will not cove the theoy of geneal elativity, but Newton's law is still an excellent appoximation of the effects of gavity if: GM v 1, and 1 c c c..3 Gavity models and geoid 56

58 The Quest of a Unifying Theoy What is the elationship between the gavitational foce and othe known fundamental foces? That one body may act upon anothe at a distance though a vacuum without the mediation of anything else, by and though which thei action and foce may be conveyed fom one anothe, is to me so geat an absudity that, I believe, no man who has in philosophic mattes a competent faculty of thinking could eve fall into it. (Newton, 169) The question is not yet fully esolved today!..3 Gavity models and geoid 58
