  1. Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation SPH 4U

  2. Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation Where is the force of gravity, in Newtons is the gravitational constant, equal to 6.67 x 10-11 Nm2/kg2 is the mass of object 1, in kilograms is the mass of object 2, in kilograms is the distance between the centres, in metres

  3. Important Things to Remember • The mass of the earth is 5.98 x 1024 kg • The radius of the earth is 6.371 x 106 m  These can be found on your formula sheet

  4. Example 1: The Red Bull Stratos jumper began his free fall 37000 m above the surface of the Earth. If his mass was 118 kg, what force of gravity did he experience as he left his vehicle?

  5. Example 2: Two students, each with a mass of 70 kg, are 1.5 m apart. Determine the force of gravity caused by each student.

  6. Gravitational Field Strength • The strength of gravity at a given point in space • The gravitational field strength can be found by:

  7. Example 3: Find the gravitational field strength on Saturn, if it has a radius of 6.03 x 107m and a mass of 5.69 x 1026 kg.
