Q

Newtons Laws of Universal Gravitation

A
  1. gravitational force is a field force between two particles
  2. force varies as the inverse square of the distance
  3. force is proportional to mass of objects, gravity force acts form the center of the object
  4. gravity is always an attractive force
17
Q

Equation for Force of Universal Gravitation

A

F = G m1m2/r^2

18
Q

Value of G?

A

6.67 x 10 ^-11

19
Q

In the universal gravitation equation what is r?

A

r is equal to the distance between the center of mass 1 to the center of mass 2

20
Q

acceleration due to gravity (g) equation?

A

g = G m2/r^2

21
Q

How to find velocity of a satelite in orbit?

A

F univ. g = Fc
solve
Vtan = sq. rt Gm2/r
