Procedurem91fcf86712739531_1528446435040_0Procedure

Gravitational interaction is one of four fundamental interactions in nature. All objects with mass are subject to gravitation. The phenomenon of material bodies pulling each other is called gravitation.m91fcf86712739531_1527752263647_0Gravitational interaction is one of four fundamental interactions in nature. All objects with mass are subject to gravitation. The phenomenon of material bodies pulling each other is called gravitation.

Gravitation has fundamental meaning in case of large mass objects, as according to Newton's law of universal gravitation, The equation for universal gravitation takes the form:

F=Gm1·m2r2

where:
G=6,67·10-11Nm2kg2 – gravitational constant,
mIndeks dolny 1, mIndeks dolny 2 – the masses of the objects,
r – the distance between the centers of their masses.

The objects interacting gravitationally always attract each other. Both the Earththe Earththe Earth and other celestial bodies attract all the bodies in the area.

Task 1
Watch the slideshow “The effects of gravitational interactions”.

[Slideshow]

Isaac Newton studied the movements of celestial bodies. He proved that the laws governing the fall of bodies at the surface of the Earththe Earththe Earth are the same as those describing the movements of celestial bodies. In other words, the same laws of physics are subject to the movement of celestial bodies both near the Earth (the Moon's motion) and in the remotest corners of the Universe. Thus, gravitational interactions are of universal nature.

Task 2
Observing the surrounding universe you have met gravitational interactions many times. Find and describe 5 examples of such interactions.

Task 3
You bought 10 dag of sweets. The Earththe EarthThe Earth attracts the sweets with some force.

a. Calculate the weight of 10 dag of sweets.

b. In a car park, there are two lorries, the massmassmass of each is 20 tonnes. Is the pull force between the two lorries greater than the weight of 10 dag of sweets? Justify your answer.

Task 4
Find the appropriate data on the Internet and decide if the Earth pulls the Moonthe Moonthe Moon more or the Sun pulls the Earththe Earththe Earth more. Justify your answer with calculations.

Lesson summarym91fcf86712739531_1528450119332_0Lesson summary

Gravitational interactions depend on the fact that each body having mass affects the other - the greater their mass, the stronger the effect. Gravitational forces are always pull forces. The Earth, like other celestial bodies, attracts all the bodies in its surroundings. These interactions are long‑range. The longer the distance, the weaker interaction is present.m91fcf86712739531_1527712094602_0Gravitational interactions depend on the fact that each body having mass affects the other - the greater their mass, the stronger the effect.
