The Universal Law of Gravitation
1. All masses attract all other masses through a force called gravity.

The Universal Law of Gravitation
1. All masses attract all other masses through a force called gravity.
2. The strength of the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the two masses.

The Universal Law of Gravitation
1. All masses attract all other masses through a force called gravity.
2. The strength of the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the two masses.
3. The strength of the gravitational force goes down with the square of the distance between their centers.

Example 2: What gravitational force does the Moon exert on the Earth?
Newton’s Third Law of Motion
When object 1 exerts a force on object 2, object 2 exerts the SAME force on object 1, but in the opposite direction
Sometimes called “Action – Reaction”
![Page 13: Orbits Tides The Universal Law of Gravitation. Announcements Test #1 is next Wednesday: Do not leave today without the Study Guide/Crossword puzzle. Monday](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649c915503460f9494c95e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Possible “orbits”
Newton’s Law of Gravity and Laws of Motion lead to a variety of possible orbital
shapes
“Conic Sections”
Newton’s laws lead directly to, or “explain”, ALL ofKepler’s Laws of Planetary Motion

Is it possible for a large man to teeter-totter with a small child?
A) No. They have to have the same weight to balance.
B) Yes, but only if they are the same distance from the balance point.
C) Yes, but only if the child is closer to the balance point.
D) Yes, but only if the man is closer to the balance point.
E) No. Newton’s laws make it clear that they can’t possibly balance.

Objects orbit their common center of mass
Two stars of equal mass
A large star and a small star
A star and a large planet

Center of Mass
The Earth and Moon both move in circles around their common center of mass.

Objects orbit their common center of mass
Newton derived a version of Kepler’s 3rd Law that involves the masses of the two bodies.
This will allow us to determine the masses of planets, stars, black holes, etc., by observing objects orbiting them!

Orbital Energy

High kinetic energyLow potential energy
Total energy remains the same throughout the orbit

Orbital Energy
Higher orbits have higher total energy
To change orbits, the energy of the satellite must be changed
Adding energy raises the satellite to a higher orbit

“Escape velocity”
Of course, you can add so much energy that the
satellite never comes back!

Tides
![Page 25: Orbits Tides The Universal Law of Gravitation. Announcements Test #1 is next Wednesday: Do not leave today without the Study Guide/Crossword puzzle. Monday](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649c915503460f9494c95e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The gravity of the Moon causes “tidal bulges” on Earth.
Both the solid Earth and the oceans bulge, but the ocean bulge is most obvious.
The ocean bulge, along with the rotation of the Earth, cause two high tides every day.
![Page 26: Orbits Tides The Universal Law of Gravitation. Announcements Test #1 is next Wednesday: Do not leave today without the Study Guide/Crossword puzzle. Monday](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649c915503460f9494c95e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The Sun also creates tidal bulges on Earth, though not as extreme.
Spring tides
Sun and Moon align, so their tidal bulges add, creating more extreme tides
New Moon and Full Moon
Neap tides
Sun and Moon are at right angles, so their tidal bulges cancel each other a bit,
creating less extreme tides

The tidal bulge is actually a little east of the Moon, due to drag and the Earth’s rotation.
![Page 28: Orbits Tides The Universal Law of Gravitation. Announcements Test #1 is next Wednesday: Do not leave today without the Study Guide/Crossword puzzle. Monday](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649c915503460f9494c95e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The tidal bulge is actually a little east of the Moon, due to drag and the Earth’s rotation.
The Moon’s gravity acts on the “Center of Gravity” of the Earth.This is a “backwards” pull, slowing the Earth’s rotation.
The Earth pulls forward on the Moon (Newton’s 3rd Law), speeding it up, and causing it to drift away from Earth a few centimeters each year.

Moon’s pull on Earth’s Center of gravity

If everything falls with the same acceleration, why does a piece of paper fall more slowly than a rock?
A) Because its lighter, and lighter things fall more slowly
B) Because the paper has more air resistance
C) Because rocks exert more gravitational force on the Earth
D) Because of electrostatic repulsion between the Earth and the paper
