Gravitational Fields

although Earth and the
Moon do not touch,
they still exert forces on
each other
Michael Faraday
developed the idea of a
field to explain “action
at a distance”

a field is defined as a sphere of influence where one object can exert a force on another without direct contact
all masses are surrounded by a gravitational field
the field exerts a force on any other mass placed in the field
![Page 4: Gravitational Fields - Linville Gravitational Fields AP.pdf · u x u u 3 11 2 2 6.67 10 6.9 10 11 2 130 2 2.723 10 / left A Gm r m N kg kg g g m N kg Ignore mass A, find the field](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040901/5e70d0470142843d9c6d277c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
direction of the field is
always to the centre of
the object causing the
field
field direction is indicated
by the use of field lines
the field lines indicate the
direction of the force
acting on another mass
placed in the field
Field lines that are far
apart mean the field is
weaker here

The field is radially
inward

near the surface of Earth, the field lines appear to be at right angles to the surface
The parallel field lines means the direction is the same
Equal spaces between the field lines means the magnitude is the same

gravitational fields are vector fields
(magnitude and direction)
the field extends to infinity

The gravitational field vector at any location
in space is found by placing a test mass m at
that point and measuring the force acting on
it.

When many masses are present, each mass
contributes its own field to each point in space.
To find the net field strength, use vector algebra
to find the value and direction.

Tides
Tides rise and fall because the moon's
gravity pulls the water into a tidal bulge which
the earth rotates under.

On the side of the Earth nearest to the moon, the
pull from the Moon is the strongest. It's clearly
stronger than the pull from the Moon at locations
on Earth further away from the Moon

Because the gravitational pull from the Moon is
less at the farthest-from-the-Moon point than it
is at other locations on the surface of the Earth,
the water at this point is literally left behind.
