(Radius of the Earth ~4000 mi)Physics 207: Lecture 9, Pg 8Note on Gravitational ForcesNewton also recognized that gravity is an attractive, long-range force between any two objects. When two objects with masses m1 and m2 are separated by distance r, each object “pulls” on the other with a force given by Newton’s law of gravity, as follows:Physics 207: Lecture 9, Pg 9Example (non-contact)Consider the force on a satellite undergoing projectile motion 40 km above the surface of the earth:FB,E = - mB gEARTHFE,B = mB gFB,E = - mB gFE,B = mB gCompare: g = G m2 / 40002 g’ = G m2 / (4000+40)2 g’ / g = 40002 / (4000+40)2 = 0.98Physics 207: Lecture 9, Pg 10A conceptual question: A flying bird in a cageYou have a bird in a cage that is resting on your upward turned palm. The cage is completely sealed to the outside (at least while we run the experiment!). The bird is initially sitting at rest on the perch. It decides it needs a bit of exercise and starts to fly. Question: How does the weight of the cage plus bird vary when the bird is flying up, when the bird is flying sideways, when the bird is flying down?Follow up question:So, what is holding the airplane up in the sky?Physics 207: Lecture 9, Pg 113rd Law : Static Friction with a bicycle wheelYou are pedaling hard and the bicycle is speeding up.What is the direction of the frictional force?You are breaking and the bicycle is slowing downWhat is the direction of the frictional force?Physics 207: Lecture 9, Pg 12Static Friction with a bicycle wheelYou are pedaling hard and the bicycle is speeding up.What is the direction of the frictional force?Hint…you are accelerating to the righta = F / mFfriction, on B from E is to the rightFfriction, on E from,B is to the leftPhysics 207: Lecture 9, Pg 13Exercise Newton’s Third LawA. greater thanB. equal to C. less thanA fly is deformed by hitting the windshield of a speeding bus. vThe force exerted by the bus on the fly is,that exerted by the fly on the bus.Physics 207: Lecture 9, Pg 14ExerciseNewton’s 3rd LawA. greater thanB. equal to C. less thanA fly is deformed by hitting the windshield of a speeding bus. vThe magnitude of the acceleration, due to this collision, of the bus isthat of the fly.Same scenario but now we examine the accelerationsPhysics 207: Lecture 9, Pg 15Exercise Newton’s 3rd LawSolutionBy Newton’s third law these two forces form an interaction pair which are equal (but in opposing directions). However, by Newton’s second law Fnet = ma or a = Fnet/m.So Fb, f = -Ff, b = F0but |abus | = |F0 / mbus | << | afly | = | F0/mfly |Thus the forces are the same Answer for acceleration is (C)Physics 207: Lecture 9, Pg 16Exercise Newton’s 3rd LawA. 2B. 4C. 6D.
