8.1 Linear and Angular Speed Radius (m) C = 2 Pr Circumference (m) Distance (m) 2 Pr v = d t Speed (m/sec) Time (sec)
8.1 Linear and Angular Speed Radius (m) v = w r Linear speed (m/sec) Angular speed (rad/sec) *This formula is used in automobile speedometers based on a tire's radius.
Key Question: Why does a roller coaster stay on a track upside down on a loop? 8.2 Centripetal Force *Students read Section 8.2 AFTER Investigation 8.2
8.2 Centripetal Force • We usually think of acceleration as a change in speed. • Because velocity includes both speed and direction, acceleration can also be a change in the direction of motion.
8.2 Centripetal Force • Any force that causes an object to move in a circle is called a centripetal force. • A centripetal force is always perpendicular to an object’s motion, toward the center of the circle.
8.2 Centripetal Force Mass (kg) Linear speed (m/sec) Fc = mv2 r Centripetal force (N) Radius of path (m)
8.2 Calculate centripetal force • A 50-kilogram passenger on an amusement park ride stands with his back against the wall of a cylindrical room with radius of 3 m. • What is the centripetal force of the wall pressing into his back when the room spins and he is moving at 6 m/sec?
8.2 Centripetal Acceleration • Acceleration is the rate at which an object’s velocity changes as the result of a force. • Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration of an object moving in a circle due to the centripetal force.
8.2 Centripetal Acceleration Speed (m/sec) ac = v2 r Centripetal acceleration (m/sec2) Radius of path (m)
8.2 Calculate centripetal acceleration • A motorcycle drives around a bend with a 50-meter radius at 10 m/sec. • Find the motor cycle’s centripetal acceleration and compare it with g, the acceleration of gravity.
8.2 Centrifugal Force • We call an object’s tendency to resist a change in its motion its inertia. • An object moving in a circle is constantly changing its direction of motion. • Although the centripetal force pushes you toward the center of the circular path... • ...it seems as if there also is a force pushing you to the outside. This apparent outward force is called centrifugal force.
8.2 Centrifugal Force • Centrifugal force is not a true forceexerted on your body. • It is simply your tendency to move in a straight line due to inertia. • This is easy to observe by twirling a small object at the end of a string. • When the string is released, the object flies off in a straight line tangent to the circle.
Key Question: How strong is gravity in other places in the universe? 8.3 Universal Gravitation and Orbital Motion *Students read Section 8.3 AFTER Investigation 8.3
8.3 Universal Gravitation and Orbital Motion • Sir Isaac Newton first deduced that the force responsible for making objects fall on Earth is the same force that keeps the moon in orbit. • This idea is known as the law of universal gravitation. • Gravitational force exists between all objects that have mass. • The strength of the gravitational force depends on the mass of the objects and the distance between them.
8.3 Law of Universal Gravitation Mass 1 Mass 2 F = m1m2 r2 Force (N) Distance between masses (m)
8.3 Calculate gravitational force • The mass of the moon is 7.36 × 1022 kg. • The radius of the moon is 1.74 × 106 m. • Use the equation of universal gravitation to calculate the weight of a 90 kg astronaut on the surface of the moon.
A satellite is an object that is bound by gravity to another object such as a planet or star. If a satellite is launched above Earth at more than 8 kilometers per second, the orbit will be a noncircular ellipse. A satellite in an elliptical orbit does not move at a constant speed. 8.3 Orbital Motion
