Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation

Consider two particles of masses and , the position of the first particle is fixed, and the distance between the particles is units. Using Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, find the work needed to move the second particle so that the distance between the particles increases to  units.

Conjecture

Use Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation to make a conjecture about what happens to the force of attraction between two particles when the distance between them is multiplied by a positive number n.

Kepler's Laws In Exercises 87-94, you are asked to verify Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion. For these exercises, assume that each planet moves in an orbit given by the vector- valued function r. Let , let G represent the universal gravitational constant, let M represent the mass of the sun. and let m represent the mass of the planet.

Using Newton's Second Law of Motion. , and Newton's Second Law of Gravitation

shows that a and r are parallel, and that is a constant vector. So. r(t) moves in a fixed plane, orthogonal to L.

Centripetal Force An object of mass m moves at a constant speed v in a circular path of radius v according to the position vector .

(a) The force required to produce the centripetal component of acceleration is called the centripetal force and is given by F = mv2/r. Use F = ma to verify the centripetal force.

(b) Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation is given by , where d is the distance between the centers of the two bodies of masses M and m. and G is the gravitational constant. Use this law to show that the speed required for circular motion is .
