  9. Chapter 3 Venus by Ptolemy Venus by Copunicus Survey of Astronomy astro1010-lee.com twlee2016@gmail.com

  10. Chapter 3 Tycho Brahe Invented wonderful observing tools Twenty years of observations Hired Kepler Survey of Astronomy astro1010-lee.com twlee2016@gmail.com

  11. Chapter 3 The Solar system by Tycho Survey of Astronomy astro1010-lee.com twlee2016@gmail.com

  12. Chapter 3 Kepler’s 1st Law Every Planet revolves around the Sun in an orbit that is an ellipse with the Sun at one focus Survey of Astronomy astro1010-lee.com twlee2016@gmail.com

  13. Chapter 3 Kepler’s 2nd Law A line from the planet to the Sun will sweep out equal area in equal time Survey of Astronomy astro1010-lee.com twlee2016@gmail.com

  14. Chapter 3 Kepler’s 3rd Law The square of the period of a planet is equal to the cube of the semi-major axis 2 3 P = a Survey of Astronomy astro1010-lee.com Yr AU twlee2016@gmail.com

  15. Chapter 3 Sir Isaac Newton Newton was a genius whose work in mathematics, theoretical mechanics and optics completely revolutionized physics Survey of Astronomy astro1010-lee.com twlee2016@gmail.com

  16. Chapter 3 Gravity Every object anywhere in the Universe attracts every other object in the Universe by a Force which is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the distance separating them. Survey of Astronomy astro1010-lee.com Mm F = G r 2 twlee2016@gmail.com

  17. Chapter 3 Gravity Inverse Square Law The equation for the intensity of light has a similar form to the gravity equation so we can use light to demonstrate the Inverse Square Law. Survey of Astronomy astro1010-lee.com twlee2016@gmail.com

  18. Chapter 3 Laws of Motion Newton’s 1st Law Newton’s 1st Law A body at rest will remain at rest and a body in motion will remain in motion in a straight line until acted upon by a force. In the absence of a force the velocity (V) will not change Survey of Astronomy astro1010-lee.com twlee2016@gmail.com

  19. Chapter 3 Laws of Motion Newton’s 2nd Law Newton’s 2nd Law The acceleration of a body is proportional to the force applied and inversely proportional to the mass of the body. The change of velocity = acceler-ation (a) = Force / mass Survey of Astronomy astro1010-lee.com a = F/m F=ma twlee2016@gmail.com

  20. Chapter 3 Laws of Motion Newton’s 3rd Law For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction Survey of Astronomy astro1010-lee.com m1v1 = m2v2 From this law we derive Thrust which makes possible Jet Engines and Rockets twlee2016@gmail.com

  21. Chapter 3 Orbital Mechanics Knowing that a bullet shot out of gun is pulled to the ground by gravity, Newton envisioned this experiment on the top of the highest mountain. From this experiment Newton related the motion of the Moon to the motion of a falling apple. Survey of Astronomy astro1010-lee.com twlee2016@gmail.com

  22. Chapter 3 Orbital Mechanics An object is space has a velocity. During a given time the object would move from A to B. But in the same time the gravity from the sun causes it to fall toward the sun the distance from A to D. The resulting trajectory of the object is from A to C. If the object is a planet in orbit we note that the distance from C to the Sun is just the same as the distance A to the Sun. Survey of Astronomy astro1010-lee.com twlee2016@gmail.com

  23. Chapter 3 Kepler’s 3rd Law as Modified by Newton Newton discovered while working from ‘first principles’ that Kepler’s 3rd Law needed to be modified. Leaving out constants… Survey of Astronomy astro1010-lee.com 2 3 (M1+M2) P = a Masses must be measured in Solar masses, period in Earth years and the distance between masses in Astronomical Units twlee2016@gmail.com

  24. Chapter 3 Tides Many books explain tides this way. Moon pulls on the water on the Moon side causing it to bulge up a little. The Moon pulls the center of the Earth away from the water on the far side causing it bulge up a little on that side. Survey of Astronomy astro1010-lee.com twlee2016@gmail.com

  25. Chapter 3 Tides (an alternate explanation) The Earth and the Moon revolve around the common center of mass for the system (Barycenter). The tide one Moon side is due to gravitational force but the tide on the other side is due to centrifugal force. Survey of Astronomy astro1010-lee.com Barycenter twlee2016@gmail.com

  26. Chapter 3 In-Class Quiz The square of the period of a planet is equal to the cube of the semi-major axis is a statement of Kepler’s _____ Law Survey of Astronomy astro1010-lee.com twlee2016@gmail.com
