F c (N) a c (m/s 2 ) Theory: In this experimental setup gravity is responsible for the circular motion of the mass. Therefore if we change the gravitational force that the mass experiences, but keep the radius constant we will change the centripetal acceleration of the object. We can ultimately use this data to find the mass of the object.

#44 Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation This is an extension of Newton’s 3rd Law: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Gravity is the force of attraction between objects with mass. Gravity is always pushing us (or exerting Force on us) towards the center of the earth We are also exerting an equal and opposite Force on the earth. Earth F person F earth

Gravity & Circular Motion From learning about Gravity, we know: 1.Objects in space with a large enough speed will orbit the earth or other large objects at a constant speed. 2.As long as nothing causes the object to lose speed it will orbit the earth forever. 3.The object stays at the same distance from the earth throughout the circular orbit. From learning about Centripetal Motion, we know: 1.The speed of the object will always be perpendicular to the direction of the force of gravity. 2.When Gravity makes objects orbit other objects in a circle, gravity is acting as a Centripetal Force.
