    Gravitation: SMAN 1 Malang 2011

    Uploaded by

    Dyne Rizki P
    This document discusses gravitation and Kepler's laws of planetary motion. It will teach about: 1) Kepler's laws, which describe planetary orbits as ellipses with the sun at one focus and relate areas swept over time. 2) Relating Kepler's laws to Newton's laws of motion and describing orbits using the law of universal gravitation. 3) Example problems applying Kepler's third law to predict orbital distances using orbital periods.

    GRAVITATION

    SMAN 1 Malang 2011

    Why its important?


    Keplers laws and the law of universal gravitation will help you understand the motion of planets and satellites

    What youll learn?


    You will learn the nature of gravitational force You will relate Keplers laws of planetarry motion to Newtons laws of motion You will describe the orbits of planets and satellites using the law of universal gravitation

    Keplers Law
    1. Keplers first law states that the path of the planets are ellipse, with the sun at one focus 2. Keplers second law states that an imaginary line from the sun to a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal time intervals 3. Keplers third law states that the square of the ratio of the periods of any two planets revolving about the sun is equal to the cube of the ratio of their average distances from the sun

    Keplers first law

    Keplers second law

    Keplers third law

    Example problem
    Callistos distance from Jupiter Galileo measured the orbital sizes of Jupiters moons using the diameter of Jupiter as a unit of measure. He found that Io, the closest moon to Jupiter, had a period of 1.8 days and was 4.2 units from the center of Jupiter. Callisto, the fourth moon from Jupiter, had a period of 16.7 days. Using the same units that Galileo used, predict Callistos distance from Jupiter!

    Practice problem
    1. If Ganymede, one of Jupiters moons, has a period of 32 days, how many units are there in its orbital radius? Use the information given in Example problem 1. 2. An asteroid revolves around the sun with a mean orbital radius twice that of earths. Predict the period of the asteroid in earth years!
