Q

Acceleration caused by gravity

A

~ 9.8 m/s^2
Acceleration of a falling object = acceleration of gravity — УСКОРЕНИЕ СИЛЫ ТЯЖЕСТИ

Gravity accelerates all,objects by the same amount, regardless of their mass
(On Earth air resistance cause the difference. But on the Moon, for example, objects will fall at the same rate)

WHY?
Heavier objects experience more gravity force but at the same time more inertia (resist more)
|==» Gravitational mass= inertial mass
(How strongly gravity pulls an object) (How much an object resist acceleration)

The product of an object’s mass and velocity

p = m*v p - ИМПУЛЬС Показывает как тяжело изменить движение тела (acceleration)

———————————-

NB: интенция ❌ = ❌импульс —> инерция** - св-во // импульс - физ величина

Q

Net force

A

An overall force to which an object responds

= to the rate of change in the object’s momentum OR <=> R = m*a - the sum of all individual forces

———————————
РАВНОДЕЙСТВУЮЩАЯ сила
- сила, которая производил на тело такое же действие, как и несколько одновременно действующих на него сил <=> R=F1+F2+…Fn
———————————

R=0 в состоянии покоя ИЛИ при постоянной V
II==» b/c any forces acting on the object, like friction or air resistance, are perfectly balanced by other forces, such as the force generated by an engine

Q

Mass AND Weight

A

Mass - const - the amount of matter on an object
——
Weight - can vary - the net force that an object applies to it surroundings
(In the stationary body it’s = m*acceleration of gravity)

Depends on m and forces acting on your m (including gravity)

Q

Free-fall

A

The condition in which an objects falling without any resistance
At free-fall objects are weightless WEIGHT=0

In fact, you are in free-fall whenever there’s nothing to prevent you from falling

F.e., astronauts and spaceships orbiting Earth are constantly falling (in free-fall basically).
Они как бы все время падают по прямой, но гравитация их «закручивает»

Q

How did Newton change our view of the universe?

A

He showed that the same physical laws that operate on Earth also operate in heavens

B/c previously it was thought that heavens were totally distinct from Earth so physical laws on Earth did not apply to heavenly motion (by Aristotle)

II==» Newton eliminated Aristotle’s distinction between two realms and brought the heavens and Earth together in one universe
(The birth of astrophysics)

Q

Newton’s 1st law of motion

A

An object moves at constant velocity unless a net force acts to change its speed or direction
———————
=ЗАКОН ИНЕРЦИИ
Если на тело не действуют силы или их действие сконпенсировано, то данное тело находится в состоянии покоя и равномерного прямолинейного движения

Q

Why you can throw a baseball faster than you can throw a shot (ядро (для метания))?

A

The F your arm implied to both baseball and the shot = m*a
B/c the m(shot) > the m(ball), the same F from your arm gives the shot smaller acceleration.
B/c of the smaller acceleration, the shot leaves your hand with smaller speed ==» it travels a shorter distance before hitting the ground

Q

Astronomical application of N’s 2nd law

A

Explains why larger planets (f.e., Jupiter) have greater effect on asteroids and comets than smaller planets (f.e., Earth)

Mj > Me => J. exerts more gravitational force on passing asteroids/ comets than smaller ==> sends them scattering with greater acceleration
(-> F=m(const)*a)

Q

Newton’s 3rd law of motion

A

For any force there is always an equal or opposite reaction force

==»

Objects always attract each other through gravity

—————
ЗАКОН РАВЕНСТВА ДЕЙСТВИЯ И ПРОТИВОДЕЙСТВИЯ
F равны по модулю, противоположны по направлению
—————
F1= -F2
—————

F of Earth ↔️ F of you BUT as M of you < M of Earth, your acc. should be much (much) > acc. of Earth ==»
II==» that’s why you fall towards Earth and not visa verse

1) Kinetic (motion) — energy of motion (in joules (Дж))
|
thermal kinetic energy
(For 1) and 3) ): ⬆️Gr.Ep ⬇️Ek
2) radiative (light) — energy carried by light

3) potential (stored) — energy stored for later conversion into kinetic or radiative energy

21
Q

Gravitational potential energy

A

Energy that an object has blue virtue of its position in a gravitational field

⬆️the distance that an object can potentially fall —> ⬆️ the gravitational pot.en.
—————
(Related topic: explains the process of the formation of stars)

22
Q

The F formation of stars

A

Before the process begins its matter is spread out in a large cloud of gas. Most individuals particales are far from the center of a cloud => Gr.Ep is ⬆️ —»
—» As the cloud shrinks under its own gravity, dist.⬇️ => Grav.Ep⬇️ —»
—» this “lost” potential energy gets converted into thermal energy, making the center of a cloud hot —» nuclear fusion —» 💥 etc

23
Q

Thermal energy

A

Is the collective kinetic energy, as measured by t, of many individual particles moving within a substance

———
Measured in Kelvin’s

24
Q

Mass-energy

A

-mass itself is a form of potential energy (Ep) that can be converted into other forms of energy under certain conditions
_________________
II==» mass and energy are 2 forms of the same thing
_________________
Energy 🔁 mass
Ep=m*c^2 (c - speed of light) ==»> small amount of m contains gauge amount of energy (pot.)

25
Newton’s universal law of gravitational
1) every m attracts **every** other m through gravity 2) the strength of gravitational force attracting any two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses (—> formula of Fg) (f.e., 2m=2Fg) 3) the strength of gravity decreases with the square of distance between their centers (—>formula of Fg) ==>> the Fg follows an **inverse square law**
26
(An) Inverse Square Law
The intensity of a physical quantity (light/ sound/ radiation etc) is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from its source Doubling the distance between two objects **weakens** the Fg by a factor of 1/2^2=1/4
27
How Newton’s laws extended Kepler’s laws?
1– K’s laws 1 and 2 appeared to apply to ALL orbiting objects (not just the Sun and Earth) 2– ellipses are not the only possible orbital path. So they are the only path for bound orbits*, but not for unbound orbits”” * - orbits in which objects go around another objects over and over again (repeatable) “” - paths that bring an object close to another only once (does not repeat) 3– generalized K’s 3d law in a way that allows to calculate the m of distant objects —>> Newton’s version of Kepler’s law <<— I—> p^2= (4pi/G(M1+M2))*a^3 <—|
28
Bound orbit
Orbit in which object goes around over and over again
29
Unbound orbit
Path that bring an object close to another only once
30
Gravitational potential energy
Energy that an object has in virtue of its position in the gravitational field Greater distance - greater E(gr) ⬆️D ⬆️E
31
Orbital energy
The sum of an object’s kinetic and gravitational potential energies Along an object’s orbital path Ek. And Egr.p. Very b/c determinants they depend on very (speed - for Ek.; distance - for Egr.p) BUT orbital energy stays the same (—> conservation of momentum) ||==>> orbits cannot change spontaneously —> |—> an object’s orbit can change only if gains or loses orbital energy (—>> gravitational encounter)
32
Gravitational encounter
An encounter in which two or more objects pass near enough two that each can feel the effects of other’s gravity and they can, therefore, exchange energy (Гравитационное столкновение)
33
Atmospheric Drag
A force that affects objects IN orbit around Earth, particularly those in law-Earth orbit. The drag is caused by friction between the orbit and Earth’s thin upper atmosphere ———————————— (Атмосферное сопротивление) ———————————— What it explains: 1) satellite: atm.drag -> loose of orbital energy —> converted into thermal energy —> burn up🔥 2) Outer planets’ small moons: these moons once may have orbited the Sun —> as passing through gas surround outer planets, the fiction might have slowed objects —> some of these small objects may have lost enough energy to friction to allow them to be “captured” as moons
34
What cause tides?
Tidal force —> Earth is stretched in both directions (towards and away from the Moon) —> **2 bulges** - high tides, in the between at lowest points - 2 low tides (—> takes 24 h AND 50 minutes because Earth rotate and Moon orbit at the same direction so it takes additional 50 minutes for Earth to follow up the Moon’s path)
35
Tidal force
A force that occurs when the gravity pulling on one of the side of an object is larger than that one on the other side, causing an object to stretch
36
How do tides depend on the lunar phases?
At Nee and Full Moon the Sun and the Moon align in one line so the force is applied on the same axis ==>> the highest and the lowest tides ——>> **spring** tides ——————— At First Quarter and Third Quarter Moon the Sun and the Moon counteract each other ==>> relatively small tides ——>> **neap** tides
37
Escape velocity
The speed necessary for an object to completely escape the gravitational pull of a larger **body** such as a moon, a planet, a star ————— For Earth escape velocity = 40 000 km/h (=11 km/s)
