Recall: Energy conservation Consider mass moving in gravitational field of much larger mass M Energy conservation DE = 0, where E = K+U = 1/2mv 2 - GmM/r Hence work done by gravitational field changes kinetic energy: W = -DU = DK Notice E < 0 if object bound Physics 215 Spring 2018 Lecture 14-1 3
Escape speed Object can just escape to infinite r if E=0 à (1/2)mv esc 2 = GM E m/r E à v esc 2 = 2GM E /R E Magnitude? 1.1x10 4 m/s on Earth What about on the moon? Sun? Physics 215 Spring 2018 Lecture 14-1 4
Consequences for planets Planets with large escape velocities can retain light gas molecules, e.g. Earth has an atmosphere of oxygen, nitrogen Moon does not Conversely Jupiter, Sun manage to retain hydrogen Physics 215 Spring 2018 Lecture 14-1 5
Black Holes Suppose light travels at speed c Turn argument about is there a value of M/R for some star which will not allow light photons to escape? Need M/R = c 2 /2G è density = 10 27 kg/m 3 for object with R = 1m approx Need very high densities possible for collapsed stars Physics 215 Spring 2018 Lecture 14-1 6
Review: How to solve gravity problems For circular motion under gravity (i.e. orbits) use: F cent = F g mv 2 /r = GMm/r 2 v here is velocity in the radial direction (tangent to orbit) For escape velocity (or shooting stuff up into space) use: K 1 + U 1 = K 2 + U 2, with U = -GMm/r and K = ½ mv 2 V here is the total velocity (often perpendicular to surface.)

Gravity Sample problem: The space shuttle, with a mass of 5 million kg, in a 300-km-high orbit wants to capture a smaller satellite (mass of 5,000 kg) for repairs. What is the speed of the shuttle? What is the speed of the satellite? Physics 215 Spring 2018 Lecture 14-1 8
Sample problem: A less-than-successful inventor wants to launch small satellites into orbit by launching them straight up from the surface of the earth at a very high speed. A) with what sped should he launch the satellite if it is to have a speed of 500 m/s at a height of 400 km? Ignore air resistance. B) By what percentage would you answer be in error if you used a flat earth approximation (i.e. U = mgh)? Physics 215 Spring 2018 Lecture 14-1 9

Importance of Simple Harmonic Oscillations For all systems near stable equilibrium F net ~ - x where x is a measure of small deviations from the equilibrium All systems exhibit harmonic oscillations near the stable equilibria for small deviations Any oscillation can be represented as superposition (sum) of simple harmonic oscillations (via Fourier transformation) Many non-mechanical systems exhibit harmonic oscillations (e.g., electronics) Physics 215 Spring 2018 Lecture 14-1 21
