Kinds of Forces

Do you know what is Gravity?

• Gravitation, or gravity, is a natural phenomenon which all physical bodies attract each other.

• It is most commonly experienced as the agent that gives weight to objects with mass and causes them to fall to the ground when dropped.

GRAVITY keeps the moon orbitingEarth

It holds starstogether . . .

Prevents planets

from losing their

atmospheres . . .

And binds galaxies together for billions of years . . .

FALLING BODIES

Falling objects accelerate at a constant rate (Galileo):

Speed is gained at a constant rate:

9.8 m/sec/sec

Time (sec)

Acceleration is same for ALL OBJECTS, regardless of mass!

• Newton’s 2nd law ⇒ force (F) is acting on falling ball (mass = m)

• All masses have same acceleration

. . . so more mass means more force needed:

m F ∝

1. ⇒ Increase one or both masses, and force increases.

2. ⇒ Force decreases as distance increases.

HOW DO THE PLANETS GO?

Planets appear‘star-like’

Planets move, relative to the stars.

Planets residenear Ecliptic.

Sun

Earth

Venus

Mars

Alien’s eye view . . .

Complicated!

Yet, patterns may be discerned . . .

• Planets remain near ecliptic – within Zodiac.

• Brightness changes in a regular pattern.

• Mercury & Venus always appear near Sun in sky.

• Mars, Jupiter & Saturn may be near Sun, but needn’t be.

• Planets travel eastward relative to stars most of the time,but sometimes they reverse direction & go west!

Jupiter & Venusare currently“in”Gemini.

Motionless Earth* Earth too heavy to be moved* If Earth moved, wouldn’t we notice?

> Relative motion argument> Parallax argument

Earth at center of Universe* This is Earth’s ‘natural place’

> Heavy stuff sinks* This is the natural place of humankind

> We’re most important (?)

Ptolemy(85 – 165 AD)

Results: • Planet-Earth distance changes• Planet sometimes goes backward

Nicolaus Copernicus (1473 – 1543)

• First modern heliocentric (sun-centered) model of solar system

• Founder of modern astronomy

• Not first astronomer!

ORBITS

• Any motion controlled only by gravity is an orbit

Without gravity

With gravity

NEWTON: Gravity explains how planets (andmoons & satellites & etc.) go.

Sun

Several trajectories are possible. . .

Object is effectivelycontinuously fallingtoward the sun . . .. . . But never getsthere!

Circle

F

Imagine launching aball sideways nearEarth . . .

Possible trajectories:

• Circle• Ellipse• Parabola• Hyperbola v

Which one you get depends on speed (v)!

“Escape”

Trajectories areconics

These are only possible orbits for inverse square law force.

• Circles & Ellipses: “Bound” orbits• Parabolas & Hyperbolas: “Escape” orbits

vv ≅ 5 mi/sec

v > 5 mi/sec

Escape:v ≥ 7 mi/sec

KEPLER’S LAWS

Johannes Kepler (1571 – 1630)

“By the study of the orbit of Mars, we must either arrive at the secrets of astronomy or forever remain

in ignorance of them.”- J. Kepler

Tycho Brahe

1. Planets move in elliptical orbits with the sun at one focus

Semi-major axis, or mean distance between planet & sun

2. A line drawn from planet to sun sweeps out

equal areas in equal times

3. The cube of the mean planet-sun distance is

directly proportional to the square of the

planet’s orbit period
