Tidal Friction
![Page 14: Lecture 6: Gravity and Motion Review from Last Lecture… Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation Kepler’s Laws are special cases of Newton’s Laws bound](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ef15503460f94c01a82/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Synchronous Rotation
![Page 15: Lecture 6: Gravity and Motion Review from Last Lecture… Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation Kepler’s Laws are special cases of Newton’s Laws bound](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ef15503460f94c01a82/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Tidal friction and the Moon
Tidal friction from the Moon acting on the Earth causes the Earth’s rotation to slow down.
As a result, the Moon also moves further and further away from Earth (due to conservation of angular momentum).
![Page 16: Lecture 6: Gravity and Motion Review from Last Lecture… Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation Kepler’s Laws are special cases of Newton’s Laws bound](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ef15503460f94c01a82/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Implications…
was the Moon’s angular size larger or smaller in the past?
was the length of a lunar month longer or shorter in the past?
were eclipses (both solar and lunar) more or less frequent in the past?

The acceleration of gravity
the universal law of gravitation allows us to understand why the acceleration due to gravity is independent of the mass of the object
and why our weight is different on other planets
![Page 18: Lecture 6: Gravity and Motion Review from Last Lecture… Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation Kepler’s Laws are special cases of Newton’s Laws bound](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ef15503460f94c01a82/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Why g is independent of mass
Imagine dropping a rock near the surface of the Earth. The force on the rock is:
Fg = G MEarth Mrock / d2 = G MEarth Mrock / (REarth)2
Newton’s Second Law of Motion says that the force is also:
Fg = Mrock arock = G MEarth Mrock / (REarth)2
arock = g = G MEarth / (REarth)2
![Page 19: Lecture 6: Gravity and Motion Review from Last Lecture… Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation Kepler’s Laws are special cases of Newton’s Laws bound](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ef15503460f94c01a82/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Finding the value of g
g = G MEarth / (REarth)2
g = (6.67 x 10-11 m3/(kg s2) ) x 6.0 x 1024 kg / (6.4 x 106 m)2
Mearth = 6.0 x 1024 kg Rearth = 6.4 x 106 m
= 9.8 m/s2
![Page 20: Lecture 6: Gravity and Motion Review from Last Lecture… Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation Kepler’s Laws are special cases of Newton’s Laws bound](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ef15503460f94c01a82/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
What about on the Moon?
g = G MMoon / (RMoon)2
g = (6.67 x 10-11 m3/(kg s2) ) x 7.4 x 1022 kg / (1.7 x 106 m)2
MMoon = 7.4 x 1022 kg RMoon = 1.7 x 106 m
= 1.7 m/s2
gravity is weaker on the Moon…therefore things gravity is weaker on the Moon…therefore things weighweigh less! less!

Matter and Energy
![Page 22: Lecture 6: Gravity and Motion Review from Last Lecture… Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation Kepler’s Laws are special cases of Newton’s Laws bound](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ef15503460f94c01a82/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Energy is what makes matter move
kinetic energy = energy of motion potential energy = stored energy
gravitational chemical electrical
radiative energy = light
![Page 23: Lecture 6: Gravity and Motion Review from Last Lecture… Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation Kepler’s Laws are special cases of Newton’s Laws bound](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ef15503460f94c01a82/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Units of Energy
calories kilowatt-hours BTU Joules
1 Joule = 0.00024 Calories
![Page 24: Lecture 6: Gravity and Motion Review from Last Lecture… Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation Kepler’s Laws are special cases of Newton’s Laws bound](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ef15503460f94c01a82/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Quantifying Energy
kinetic energy = ½ m v2
where m = mass (in kg)and v = velocity (in m/s)
answer will be in Joules (1 J = kg x m2/s2)
![Page 25: Lecture 6: Gravity and Motion Review from Last Lecture… Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation Kepler’s Laws are special cases of Newton’s Laws bound](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ef15503460f94c01a82/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Gravitational Potential Energy
the amount of gravitational potential energy is proportional to the mass, the force of gravity, and the distance
for example, for an object suspended above the earth, the gravitational potential energy is W = G m MEarth/r = m x g x r
![Page 26: Lecture 6: Gravity and Motion Review from Last Lecture… Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation Kepler’s Laws are special cases of Newton’s Laws bound](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ef15503460f94c01a82/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Conservation of Energy
the total amount of energy in the Universe remains the same
energy can change forms but cannot be created or destroyed

Orbital Energy
moving faster largerkinetic energy
moving slower smallerkinetic energy
![Page 28: Lecture 6: Gravity and Motion Review from Last Lecture… Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation Kepler’s Laws are special cases of Newton’s Laws bound](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ef15503460f94c01a82/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
bound vs. unbound orbits
bound orbits gravitational potential energy balances kinetic energy
unbound orbits kinetic energy greaterthan gravitational potential

gravitational encounters
![Page 30: Lecture 6: Gravity and Motion Review from Last Lecture… Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation Kepler’s Laws are special cases of Newton’s Laws bound](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ef15503460f94c01a82/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
escape velocity
We can now derive the escape velocity by setting the kinetic energy equal to the gravitational potential energy:
½ m v2 = Gm MEarth/REarth
vescape = (2GMEarth / REarth)½
![Page 31: Lecture 6: Gravity and Motion Review from Last Lecture… Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation Kepler’s Laws are special cases of Newton’s Laws bound](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649ef15503460f94c01a82/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The Escape Velocity from Earth
vescape = (2GMEarth / REarth)½
= (2 x 6.67x10-11 m3/(kg s2) x 6.0x1024 kg/6.4x106m)½
vescape = 11 km/s
