Dr. Jie Zou PHY 1151G Department of Physics * Chapter 12 Gravity Dr. Jie Zou PHY 1151G Department of Physics * Outline Newton’s law of universal gravitation Gravitational attraction of spherical bodies Force of Gravity on a mass m on the surface of the Earth Force of Gravity on a mass m above the surface of the Earth Dr. Jie Zou PHY 1151G Department of Physics * Newton’s Law of universal gravitation Newton’s law of universal gravitation: The force of gravity between any two point objects of mass m1 and m2 is attractive and of magnitude r = the distance between the masses. G = the universal gravitation constant = 6.67?10-11 N·m2/kg2. Direction of the force of gravity: directed along the line connecting the masses. The force of gravity between two objects forms an action-reaction pair. Dr. Jie Zou PHY 1151G Department of Physics * Exercise A man takes his dog for a walk on a deserted beach. Treating people and dogs as point objects for the moment, find the force of gravity between the 105-kg man and his 11.2-kg dog when they are separated by a distance of (a) 1.00 m and (b) 10.0m. Dr. Jie Zou PHY 1151G Department of Physics * Example As part of a daring rescue attempt, the Millennium Eagle passes between a pair of twin asteroids, as shown. If the mass of the spaceship is 2.50 ?107 kg and the mass of each asteroid is 3.50 ?1011 kg, find the net gravitational force exerted on the Millennium Eagle (a) when it is at location A and (b) when it is at location B. Treat the spaceship and the asteroids as if they were point objects. Dr. Jie Zou PHY 1151G Department of Physics * Gravitational attraction of spherical bodies (1) (1) Between a uniform sphere and a point mass: The net force exerted by the sphere on the mass m is the same as if all the mass of the sphere were concentrated at its center. The magnitude of the force between the mass m and the sphere of mass M is Gravitational attraction of spherical bodies (2) (2) Be
