Gravitation

Fg is proportional to the two masses: Newton discovered that gravity attracts any two objects depending on their masses and their distance. Fg is proportional to the two masses: Fg is proportional to the inverse of the square of their distances between their centers of mass:

Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation Fg =

Example Let’s set the 2 equations we know for the force of gravity equal to each other since they BOTH represent your weight or force due to gravity SOLVE FOR g! Another name for g – gravitational field strength

Example Calculate the force of gravity between two 75 kg students if their centers of mass are 0.95 m apart.

Example A satellite weighs 9000 N on Earth’s surface Example A satellite weighs 9000 N on Earth’s surface. How much does it weigh if its mass is tripled and its orbital radius is doubled?

Satellites in Orbit Consider the Moon:

Example: A 4500 kg Earth satellite has an orbital radius of 8.50x107 m. At what speed does it travel?

A simulation http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/gravity-and-orbits

Example: What is the gravitational field strength on the surface of the Moon? mmoon = 7.35x1022 kg rmoon = 1.74x106 m

Example: A satellite orbits the Earth at a radius of 2.20x107 m. What is its orbital period?

Example The orbital speed of a satellite will depend on the strength of gravitational field at the orbital radius. Consider the following situations. Which identical satellite will be travelling faster in each case? Why? 1) Satellite A orbits the Earth at twice the orbital radius of Satellite B. 2) Satellite A orbits the Sun at the same orbital radius that Satellite B orbits the Earth.

Geosynchronous Orbit We have just seen that the orbital period of the satellite depends only on the mass of the planet and the orbital radius of the satellite. It stands to reason therefore that at a certain orbital distance the orbital period will match the rotational period of the planet. For example for the earth there is a certain radius of orbit where the period will be 24 hours. A satellite at this distance will always stay at the same place above the earth. Such a satellite is said to be in geosynchronous (or geostationary) orbit.

Example: Find the orbital radius of a satellite that is geostationary above Earth’s equator. What is the speed of this satellite?
