Newton’s Law of Gravitation  The attractive force between two point masses is,  Where,  M1 and M2 are the masses of the attracting bodies  r is the distance between them  G is Newton’s constant of universal gravitation and has a value of x N m 2 kg -2

Newton’s Law of Gravitation  The direction of the force is along the line joining the two masses,

Newton’s Law of Gravitation  The formula applies to point masses, which means the masses are small in relation to the separation between them

Newton’s Law of Gravitation  What is the gravitational force between the earth and the sun?

Newton’s Law of Gravitation  What is the gravitational force between the earth and the sun?

Newton’s Law of Gravitation  How does this compare to the gravitational force between the earth and you?

Newton’s Law of Gravitation  How does this compare to the gravitational force between the earth and you?

Newton’s Law of Gravitation  Since F=ma, what value of a does this yield?

Newton’s Law of Gravitation  Since F=ma, what value of a does this yield?  Sound Familiar?

Gravitational Field Strength  The gravitational field strength at a certain point is the force per unit mass experienced by a small point mass, m, at that point.

Gravitational Field Strength  The units of gravitational field strength are N  kg -1  1N = 1 kg  m  s -2  So units become m  s -2

Gravitational Field Strength  Gravitational field strength is a vector quantity whose direction is given by the direction of the force a point mass would experience if placed at the point of interest.

Gravitational Field Strength  The gravitational field strength around a single point mass is radial which means it is the same for all points equidistant from the center of mass and directed toward the center.

Gravitational Field Strength  On a micro- versus macro- level (like the projectile motion of a football), the field strength can be considered to be uniform with a constant value.
