• 😀 Example 2: To find the height where the gravitational acceleration is one-sixth of Earth’s gravity, the height was found to be 1.45 times the Earth's radius above the surface.

Q & A

What is Newton's Law of Gravitation?

Newton's Law of Gravitation states that the gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.

What is the formula for gravitational force?

The formula for gravitational force is: F_g = G * (m1 * m2) / R^2, where F_g is the gravitational force, G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of the objects, and R is the distance between their centers.

How is gravitational force affected by the masses of the objects?

Gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects. This means that if the masses increase, the gravitational force also increases.

How is gravitational force affected by the distance between objects?

Gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the centers of the objects. This means that as the distance increases, the gravitational force decreases.

What is a gravitational field?

A gravitational field is the region around a mass where other objects experience a force of attraction due to gravity. The strength of the gravitational field can be calculated using the formula G = F/m, where F is the gravitational force and m is the mass of the object.

What is the significance of the gravitational constant 'G'?

The gravitational constant 'G' is a fundamental constant in physics, with a value of approximately 6.67 × 10^-11 N·m²/kg². It is used to calculate the gravitational force between two objects.

What is the relationship between gravitational acceleration on Earth’s surface and at a height above the surface?

Gravitational acceleration on Earth's surface is represented by G1, and it decreases as one moves away from the Earth’s surface. The gravitational acceleration at a height h above the surface can be calculated using the formula G2 = G * m / (R + h)², where G is the gravitational constant, m is the object's mass, and R is the radius of the Earth.

How do you calculate the gravitational force between two objects?

To calculate the gravitational force between two objects, use the formula F_g = G * (m1 * m2) / R². You need to know the masses of the objects (m1 and m2) and the distance between their centers (R), as well as the gravitational constant (G).

How do you calculate the height at which the gravitational force is one-sixth of that at the Earth's surface?

To find the height where the gravitational force is one-sixth of that at Earth's surface, use the ratio of gravitational accelerations. Set G1/G2 = (R + h)² / R², where G1 is the acceleration at the Earth's surface and G2 is one-sixth of G1. Solving this gives h = 1.45R, meaning the height is 1.45 times the radius of Earth.

What is the purpose of the example problems in the video?

The example problems in the video are designed to apply the concepts of gravitational force and field to real-world scenarios. They help illustrate how to use the formulas for calculating gravitational forces and acceleration in different contexts.
