Gravitation
Very fast horizontal toss

t = 1s 
x= 8km 
5m 
t = 2s 
x=16km 
t = 3s 
x=24km 
20m 45m 
V=8km/s
Orbital motion is free fall 
VV == 46 km/s V = 8km/10km/km/s 
CEilirpctuilcaarl OOrrbbiitt!
Centripetal acceleration 
a = v2/r for a circular orbit 
(v = 8km/s = 8x103m/s) 
a = (8 x103 m/s)2 
6.4 x 106 m = 64 x106 m2/s2 
6.4 x 106 m 
= 10 m/s2

Is the Moon in free-fall around the 
Earth? 
r=3.84x105km 
v 
a = v2/r 
what is v? 
v = dist/time = 2pr 
28d = 
2x3.14x 3.84x108 m 
28dx(24h/d)x3.6x103s

2.4x106s = 1.0 x 103 m/s
Moons centripetal acceleration

Toward Earths center
Newtons dreams 
Hmmmmm 
The Moon is in free-fall 
around the Earth 
Its acceleration is only 
1/3600 g (accel at the 
Earths surface)
Distances 
The moon is 60x further from 
the Earths center than objects 
on (near) the Earths surface 
r=3.84x108m = 60 x 6.4x106 m 
= 60 x RE

Newtons 
big idea 
The force of gravity 
gets weaker as 
distance squared 
The moon is 60x 
further from 
the Earths center 
than objects on 
(near) the Earths 
surface 
The strength of 
Earths gravity 
near the Moon is 
(1/60)2 t=1/3600 
times weaker
Gravity gets weaker as 1/dist2

Boys weight = mg = 80kg x 10m/s2 = 800 N
Measuring gravity force between 
ordinary-sized objects is very hard
Moons gravity causes tides
So does the Suns 
Half Moon 
New Moon 
Full Moon
Measuring Weight

mg
Weightlessness 
N =mg 
N >mg N <mg 
N =0
Weightlessness means N =0 
compensating upward
Weightlessness in action
