Topics in Gravitation
9.1 Universal Law of Gravitation
- Every object in the universe attracts every other object with a gravitational force
- Gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of masses of two objects
- Gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of distance between objects
9.2 Free Fall and Acceleration due to Gravity
- Free fall occurs when objects move under Earth's gravitational force alone
- All objects in free fall experience same acceleration regardless of mass
- Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s² near Earth's surface
9.3 Mass vs Weight
- Mass is measure of inertia and amount of matter in an object
- Mass remains constant everywhere in universe
- Weight is gravitational force acting on an object
9.4 Thrust and Pressure
- Thrust is force acting perpendicular to a surface
- Pressure is thrust per unit area (P = F/A)
- Same force on smaller area creates higher pressure
