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.

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:4. The speed of the object will always be perpendicular

to the direction of the force of gravity.5. When Gravity makes objects orbit other objects in a

circle, gravity is acting as a Centripetal Force.

#46 Gravitational Force & Acceleration in South

GateNow that we understand what gravitational force is and how to calculate it, we are going to extend our new knowledge to find the exact acceleration due to gravity in South Gate and we’ll compare it to Mount Everest.

Theory: Gravity is supposed to be weaker in South Gate than Mt. Everest because of Mt. Everest’s higher elevation. Does it really make much difference though?

- We know how to calculate the force of gravity between 2 objects, for example Mr. A and the Earth.

- What can we do with that force find out the value what we consider gravity, g= 9.8m/s2 ?

- Hopefully you’re thinking Fnet=ma. If we put the gravitational force into this equation in place of Fnet, then the a will be acceleration due to gravity, or g.

- mperson =72 kg

- r=6.371x106 m - Fg=?

- ag=?

b. - me=5.97x1024kg

- mcar =1000 kg

- r=6.371x106 m - Fg=?

- ag =?

use F=Gm1m2/r2 & Fnet=ma to solve the problems below along with G=6.67x10-11 Nm2/kg2

c. - me=5.97x1024kg

- minsect = 0.001 kg

- r=6.371x106 m - Fg=?

- ag =?

1. After calculating Fg and ag for a,b, & c , what pattern did you notice?2. What variable in a,b, & c did not affect the how fast the object would

accelerate if it was falling to the ground?3. The class takes a trip to Griffith park. At Griffith Park’s highest point

it is 495.3 m. The mass and radius of the earth are 5.97x1024kg and 6.371x106 m. What is the acceleration due to gravity if an object of any mass is placed at that point? (Remember your answer from #2, knowing that will help you solve this)
