1. Universal Law of Gravitation Seo Physics

2. Universal Gravitation What is Universal Gravitation? Force which is directly proportional to the product of two masses Equation? G = universal gravitation constant G = 6.67 x 10-11 N m2/ kg2 m = mass of an object r = distance between the center of mass of the two objects

3. Gravitational Force What is a Gravitational Force? Any two masses that exert on each other Example of action-reaction pair

4. Practice A 1 kg object is located at a distance of 6.4 x106 m from the center of a larger object whose mass is 6.0 x 1024 kg. Find the gravitational attraction between them.

5. DIY Two spherical objects have masses of 1.5 x 105 kg and 8.5 x 102 kg. Their centers are separated by a distance of 2500 m. Find the gravitational attraction between them.

6. Gravitational Field What is Gravitational Field? Strength of field where there is a force of attraction in different planets Equation? g = G m/ r2 m= mass of planet g = gravitational field strength r = radius of planet G = universal gravitation constant = 6.67 x 10-11 N m2/ kg2

7. Practice Compute g at a distance of 4.5 x 107m from the center of a spherical object whose mass is 3.0 x 1023 kg.

8. DIY Compute g for the surface of the sun. Its radius is 7.0 x108 m and its mass is 2.0 x 1030 kg.

9. Important Concepts Fg exists between two masses, regardless of: the medium separating them their size or composition
