  1. CH-5: Circular Motion,Planets, and Gravity

  2. Outline • Centripetal acceleration • Centripetal force • Planetary motion • Newton’s law of universal gravitation • The moon and other satellites

  3. A Car on a Curve The car failed to negotiate the curve. Why?

  4. A Car on a Curve The car failed to negotiate the curve. Why? A: Not enough centripetal force.

  5. 5.1 Centripetal Acceleration Q: Consider a ball twirled in a horizontal circle. Is there any acceleration?

  6. 5.1 Centripetal Acceleration Q: Consider a ball twirled in a horizontal circle at constant speed. Is there any acceleration? A: Yes. Centripetal Acceleration

  7. When the string breaks

  8. Centripetal Acceleration

  9. Centripetal Acceleration Centripetal acceleration is the rate of change in velocity of an object that is associated with the change in direction of the velocity. It is always perpendicular to the velocity vector and points toward the center of the curve.

  10. Centripetal Acceleration

  11. E1 • A ball is traveling at a constant speed of 5 m/s in a circle of radius 0.8 m. What is the centripetal acceleration of the ball?

  12. What force produces the centripetal acceleration?

  13. What force produces the centripetal acceleration? A: The horizontal component of the tension in the string.

  14. What is accomplished by the vertical component of the tension?

  15. What is accomplished by the vertical component of the tension? A: It supports the weight.

  16. 5.2 Centripetal Forces • In our daily lives we come across many types of circular motions. Centripetal force is necessary for any of these motions.

  21. 5.3 Planetary Motion • Ptolemy’s Geocentric View • Copernicus’ Heliocentric View

  22. Retrograde Motion

  23. Tycho Brahe

  24. Kepler’s Laws • Kepler’s first law deals with the orbit of a planet around the sun. • It says that the planets move in elliptical orbits with the sun at one of the focal points.

  25. Kepler’s 2nd Law Kepler’s second law deals with the fact that the speed of a planet changes as it orbits the Sun. When the planet is closer to the Sun it moves faster and it moves slower when it is further from the Sun. It can be stated as follows: The planets move along the elliptical orbit so that the line that connects the planet to the Sun sweeps equal areas during equal times.

  26. Kepler’s Third Law Kepler’s third law gives a relationship between the orbital period of a planet and the average distance of the planet from the Sun. It can be stated as follows: The square of the orbital period of any planet is proportional to the cube of the average distance from the planet to the Sun.

  27. Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation Every body in the universe attracts every other body with a force that is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the bodies and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the bodies.

  28. Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation

  29. Universal Gravitational Constant The proportionality constant is called the universal gravitational constant. Its value in the SI system of units is,G = 6.67  10-11N.m2/Kg2. The law of gravitation is universal and very fundamental. It can be used to understand the motions of planets and moons, determine the surface gravity of planets, and the orbital motion of artificial satellites around the Earth.

  30. Artificial Satellites

  31. Newton’s Imagination

  32. Synchronous Satellite • Has a period similar to that of the rotation of earth, of 24 hours. • Stays at the same point above earth.

  33. Digital Satellite System TV A synchronous satellite orbits the earth once per day on a circular path that lies in the plane of the equator. Digital satellite system television uses such satellites as relay stations for TV signals that are sent up from the earth's surface and then rebroadcast down toward your own small dish antenna.
