Acceleration due to Gravity For an object of mass m near the surface of the Earth: and where F g = mg g = GM E R 2 E M E = 5.97 10 24 kg is the mass of the Earth and R E = 6.37 10 6 m is the radius of the Earth. The force F g acts downwards towards the center of the Earth.

Acceleration due to Gravity The acceleration due to gravity, g, can vary with height! F G = GM ( ) Em GME r 2 = m r 2 = mg Depends on r the distance from the center of the Earth. uppose an object is at height h above the surface of the Earth, then: g decreases as h increases. g = GM E (R E + h) 2 g is the not just the acceleration due to gravity, but also the magnitude of the gravitational field.

Fields field A field is any kind of physical quantity that has values specified at every point in space and time.

Fields field A field is any kind of physical quantity that has values specified at every point in space and time. Fields were first introduced as a calculation tool. A force-field can be used to identify the force a particular particle will feel at a certain point in space and time based on the other objects in its environment that it will interact with. We do not need a description of the sources of the field to describe what their effect is on our particle. Gravitational force: Electrostatic force: F G = m( GMˆr r 2 ) = mg F E = qe

Fields Gravitational force: Electrostatic force: F G = m( GMˆr r 2 ) = mg F E = qe Gravitational field: g = F G m Electric field: E = F E q The field tells us what force a test particle of mass m (in the gravitational case) or charge q (in the electrostatic case) would feel at that point in space and time.

Gravitational Potential (Not gravitational potential energy!) We can define a new quantity gravitational potential. Usually written Φ or V. The change in gravitational potential is equal to the integral of the field along a path (with a minus sign). Φ = g ds (1) Notice: this is very similar to what we had for the relation between force and potential energy: U = F ds (2) In fact, eq (2) = m eq (1)

Gravitational Potential The gravitation potential can help us figure out what the gravitational potential energy will be if we put a particle of mass m at a particular point where the gravitational potential is Φ. U = mφ

Gravitational Potential Φ = g ds and so, the radial component of g can be found by: g r = dφ dr For the gravitational field around a point-like mass M, g = GM r 2 ˆr, Φ = GM r F = GMm r 2 ˆr, U = GMm r

Motion of the Planets The planets in our solar system orbit the un. (As planets in other systems orbit their stars.) This is called a heliocentric model.

Motion of the Planets The planets in our solar system orbit the un. (As planets in other systems orbit their stars.) This is called a heliocentric model. Nicolaus Copernicus (early 1500s A.D.) is credited with the paradigm since he developed a mathematical model and took seriously the idea that the implication was that the Earth moved around the un, but others had similar thoughts: Aristarchus of amos (c. 270 BCE) Martianus Capella (400s A.D.) Aryabhata (500s A.D.), Nilakantha omayaji (1500s A.D.) Najm al-dīn al-qazwīnī al-kātibī (1200s A.D.)

Motion of the Planets After Copernicus s proposal, Tycho Brahe gathered a lot of data about the positions of stars and planets. Johannes Kepler inherited Brahe s data and did the calculations to deduce a complete model. Galileo gathered additional data that supported the heliocentric model and popularized it.

Kepler s Laws Kepler s Three laws give simple rules for predicting stable planetary orbits. 1. All planets move in elliptical orbits with the un at one focus. 2. The radius vector drawn from the un to a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal time intervals. 3. The square of the orbital period of any planet is proportional to the cube of the semimajor axis of the elliptical orbit.
