Gravity
• Before 1687, large amount of data collected on motion of planets and Moon (Copernicus, Galileo, Brahe, Kepler)
• Newton showed that this could all be understood with a new Law of Universal Gravitation

Universal Gravity
• Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy:
Every particle in the Universe attracts every other with a force that is directly proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

• F acts along line between bodies
• F12 = -F21 in accord with Newton’s Third Law
• Acts at a distance (even through a vacuum) …
• G is a universal constant = 6.7 x 10-11 N.m2/kg2

Physics 215 – Fall 2014 Lecture 13-1 7
The Earth exerts a gravitational force of 800 N on a physics professor. What is the magnitude of the gravitational force (in Newtons) exerted by the professor on the Earth ?
• 800 divided by mass of Earth
• 800
• zero
• depends on how fast the Earth is spinning

Physics 215 – Fall 2014 Lecture 13-1 8
Motivations for law of gravity
• Newton reasoned that Moon was accelerating – so a force must act
• Assumed that force was same as that which caused ‘apple to fall’
• Assume this varies like r-p
• Compare acceleration with known acceleration of Moon find p
![Page 9: Physics 215 – Fall 2014Lecture 13-11 Welcome back to Physics 215 Today’s agenda: Newtonian gravity Planetary orbits Gravitational Potential Energy.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033107/56649ebb5503460f94bc2da7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Physics 215 – Fall 2014 Lecture 13-1 9
Apple and Moon calculation
But:
aM = (2rM/T)2/rM = 42rM/T2 = 2.7 x 10-3 m/s2
aM/aapple = 2.7 x 10-4
rM/rE = 3.8 x108/6.4 x 106 = 59.0 p = 2!
aM = krM-p
aapple = krE-p
aM/aapple = (rM/rE)-p

Physics 215 – Fall 2014 Lecture 13-1 10
What is g ?
• Force on body close to rE =
GMEm/rE2 = mg g = GME/rE
2 = 9.81 m/s2
• Constant for bodies near surface
• Assumed gravitational effect of Earth can be thought of as acting at center (ultimately justified for p = 2)

3. Square of orbital period is proportional to cube of semimajor axis.
• Deduce ( for circular orbit) from gravitational law
• assume gravity responsible for acceleration in orbit
GMSM/r2 = M(2r/T)2/r
T2 = (4/GMS)r3 !!

Physics 215 – Fall 2014 Lecture 13-1 15
Gravitational Field
• Newton never believed in action at a distance
• Physicists circumvented this problem by using new approach – imagine that every mass creates a gravitational field at every point in space around it
• Field tells the magnitude (and direction) of the gravitational force on some test mass placed at that position F = mtest

Energy conservation
• Consider mass moving in gravitational field of much larger mass M
• Since W = -U = K we have:
= 0
where E = K+U = mv2 - GmM/r
• Notice E < 0 if object bound

Consequences for planets
• Planets with large escape velocities can retain light gas molecules, e.g. Earth has an atmosphere of oxygen, nitrogen
• Moon does not
• Conversely Jupiter, Sun manage to retain hydrogen

Black Holes
• Suppose light travels at speed c• Turn argument about – is there a value of
M/R for some star which will not allow light photons to escape ?
• Need M/R = c2/2G density = 1027 kg/m3
for object with R = 1m approx• Need very high densities – possible for
collapsed stars

Precession
• Simple model of solar system based on assuming only important force due to Sun -- ellipses
• Not true. Other planets exert mutual gravitational forces also – most important due to Jupiter
• Ellipses rotate in space - precession
