Describing Motion and Interactions
Position—where you are in space (L or meter)
Velocity—how fast position is changing with time (LT-1 or m/s)
Acceleration—how fast velocity is changing with time (LT-2 or m/s2)
Force— what is required to change to motion of a body (MLT-2 or kg-m/s2)
We will focus on a special kind of force, termed a central forces that results from change in direction of velocity.
Now look at a specific central force, the force due to gravity.

Newton’s Laws in Review
• 1st Law —a special case of the 2nd Law for statics, with a=0 or Fnet=0 • An objects velocity remains unchanged, unless
a force acts on the object.
• 2nd Law (and 1st Law)—How motion of a object is effected by a force.– The acceleration of an object is directly
proportional to the magnitude of the imposed force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. The acceleration is the same direction as that of the imposed force.
• 3rd Law —Forces come from interactions with other objects.• For every action (force), there is an equal but
opposite reaction (force).

Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation
• Newton recognized the similarity between the motion of a projectile on Earth and the orbit of the moon.
• If a projectile is fired with enough velocity, it could fall towards Earth but never reach the surface.
• The projectile would be in orbit.
• Newton’s law of universal gravitation says the gravitational force between two objects is proportional to the mass of each object, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects.
• G is the Universal gravitational constant G.

Cavendish
Developed a clever way to measure the weak gravitational force between small masses.
Confirmed Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation (and in essence measured the mass of the Earth in comparison to the kg mass standard).
The effect the 320 kg balls of the 1.5 kg balls was about that of a grain of sand!
That’s 20 parts per billion precision!!!
Wikeapedia has a nice description of the experiment.

Three equal masses are located as shown. What is the direction of the total force acting
on m2?
a) To the left.b) To the right.c) The forces cancel such that the total force is zero.d) It is impossible to determine from the figure.
There will be a net force acting on m2 toward m1. The third mass exerts a force of attraction to the right, but since it is farther away that force is less than the force exerted by m1 to the left.

But…Using retroreflectors left by the Apollo astronauts, we measure the moon's distance with staggering precision: better than a few cm out of 385,000 km (about 20 parts per trillion!!!)
Results of this long-term experiment are:
• The moon is spiralling away from Earth at a rate of 38 mm/yr. • The moon probably has a liquid core of about 20% of the Moon's radius. • The universal force of gravity is very stable. The experiments have put an upper limit on the change in G of less than 1 part in 1011 since 1969.
• Results strongly supporting the validity of the Strong Equivalence Principle.
• Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity predicts the moon's orbit to within the accuracy of the laser ranging measurements.

Extensions to Newton’s Theory of Gravity Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity
Based on how E&M works, Einstein postulated:• The laws of physics are the same for all observers in uniform motion relative to one another (Galileo’s principle of relativity), • The speed of light in a vacuum, c, is the same for all observers, regardless of their relative motion or of the motion of the source of the light.
Some surprising results these are:
Relativity of simultaneity: Two events, simultaneous for some observer, may not be simultaneous for another observer if the observers are in relative motion. Time dilation: Moving clocks are measured to tick more slowly than an observer's "stationary" clock. Length contraction: Objects are measured to be shortened in the direction that they are moving with respect to the observer. Mass-energy equivalence: E = mc2.

Can General Relativity be merged with Quantum Mechanics? (QM has been tested to 17 decimal places- ~10 parts per quintillion, even though we don’t really understand how to interpret the theory.)

Scientific Theories Are NOT Static
Aristotle was extended by Ptolemy, who was corrected by Copernicus, who was generalized by Galileo, who was supplemented by Brahe, who provided Kepler with data, who was merged with laws of motion by Newton, who was quantified by Cavendish, who was supplanted by Einstein, who was expanded by Einstein himself, who was tested by 20th century scientists and challenged by QM and cosmology…
But they can describe a lot of what goes on in the world around us.
