Name: Date: How Does Gravity Affect The Motion of Objects? Unit 3: Aim 13 On Earth, gravity pulls all objects to Earth’s center. The Law of Universal Gravitation states that all objects in the universe attract each other, therefore gravity acts on all objects in the universe. Although gravity affects all things, the attraction between two objects depends on a few things. One is MASS and the other is DISTANCE. As the mass of an object increases, the gravitational force increases. Since Earth is an object with a lot of mass, objects fall toward the center of the Earth with a noticeable amount of force. This is why it is easier to lift a ping-pong ball over your head than a bowling ball because there is less gravitational pull to overcome. With distance as a factor, as the distance between two objects increases, the gravitational force between then decreases Gravity acts on all masses equally, even though the effects on both masses may be different because gravity causes all objects to fall at the same constant rate of 9.8 m/s2. An object in free fall means that the only force acting on the object is gravity. If gravity acts on all masses equally, why do all objects have a different weight? The mass of something is the amount of matter something is made of. The mass of an object ALWAYS stays the same. Your mass on Earth will be the same if you were on the moon. Weight however, is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object at the surface of a planet. The weight can CHANGE depending on how much the planet is pulling on the object. 1. Define the following: a. gravity: b. law of universal gravitation: c. mass: d. weight: e. free fall: 2. What are the two things that affect the attraction between two objects 3. Why is it easier to lift your puppy than to try to lift your car? 4. As you travel away from Earth’s surface. a. What happens to your mass? b. What happens to the gravitational pull? Does it increase or decrease and why?! c. What happens to your weight? 5. The sun pulls on a planet with 167,560,432 N of force. a. What will happen to that force, if the sun decreases in mass. b. What will happen to that force, if the planet moves closer to the sun. 6. Gravity is pulling down on a skydiver with 70 N of force, and air resistance is pushing up on the skydiver with 30 N of force. Draw a free-body diagram of this scenario. What is the net force on the skydiver? 7. What forces are acting on an object in free fall? If gravity is pulling on an object in free fall with 45,400 N of force, what is the net force on the object? So as you travel away from the Earths surface, your mass stays the same but your weight reduces as gravitational pull decreases Felix- jumped from a height of about 120,000 feet (mt Everest is only about 20,000 feet). The air is so thin at that altitude. Air pressure decreases as altitude increases, since less pressure is pushing the air molecules together, this change in density makes it easier for objects to move through .

Kaluza-Klein Gravity, Concentrating on the General Rel- Ativity, Rather Than Particle Physics Side of the Subject
Kaluza-Klein Gravity J. M. Overduin Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Victoria, P.O. Box 3055, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, V8W 3P6 and P. S. Wesson Department of Physics, University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada N2L 3G1 and Gravity Probe-B, Hansen Physics Laboratories, Stanford University, Stanford, California, U.S.A. 94305 Abstract We review higher-dimensional unified theories from the general relativity, rather than the particle physics side. Three distinct approaches to the subject are identi- fied and contrasted: compactified, projective and noncompactified. We discuss the cosmological and astrophysical implications of extra dimensions, and conclude that none of the three approaches can be ruled out on observational grounds at the present time. arXiv:gr-qc/9805018v1 7 May 1998 Preprint submitted to Elsevier Preprint 3 February 2008 1 Introduction Kaluza’s [1] achievement was to show that five-dimensional general relativity contains both Einstein’s four-dimensional theory of gravity and Maxwell’s the- ory of electromagnetism. He however imposed a somewhat artificial restriction (the cylinder condition) on the coordinates, essentially barring the fifth one a priori from making a direct appearance in the laws of physics. Klein’s [2] con- tribution was to make this restriction less artificial by suggesting a plausible physical basis for it in compactification of the fifth dimension. This idea was enthusiastically received by unified-field theorists, and when the time came to include the strong and weak forces by extending Kaluza’s mechanism to higher dimensions, it was assumed that these too would be compact. This line of thinking has led through eleven-dimensional supergravity theories in the 1980s to the current favorite contenders for a possible “theory of everything,” ten-dimensional superstrings.

1 the Principle of Wave–Particle Duality: an Overview
3 1 The Principle of Wave–Particle Duality: An Overview 1.1 Introduction In the year 1900, physics entered a period of deep crisis as a number of peculiar phenomena, for which no classical explanation was possible, began to appear one after the other, starting with the famous problem of blackbody radiation. By 1923, when the “dust had settled,” it became apparent that these peculiarities had a common explanation. They revealed a novel fundamental principle of nature that wascompletelyatoddswiththeframeworkofclassicalphysics:thecelebrated principle of wave–particle duality, which can be phrased as follows. The principle of wave–particle duality: All physical entities have a dual character; they are waves and particles at the same time. Everything we used to regard as being exclusively a wave has, at the same time, a corpuscular character, while everything we thought of as strictly a particle behaves also as a wave. The relations between these two classically irreconcilable points of view—particle versus wave—are , h, E = hf p = (1.1) or, equivalently, E h f = ,= . (1.2) h p In expressions (1.1) we start oﬀ with what we traditionally considered to be solely a wave—an electromagnetic (EM) wave, for example—and we associate its wave characteristics f and (frequency and wavelength) with the corpuscular charac- teristics E and p (energy and momentum) of the corresponding particle. Conversely, in expressions (1.2), we begin with what we once regarded as purely a particle—say, an electron—and we associate its corpuscular characteristics E and p with the wave characteristics f and of the corresponding wave.

Einstein's Gravitational Field
Einstein’s gravitational field Abstract: There exists some confusion, as evidenced in the literature, regarding the nature the gravitational field in Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. It is argued here that this confusion is a result of a change in interpretation of the gravitational field. Einstein identified the existence of gravity with the inertial motion of accelerating bodies (i.e. bodies in free-fall) whereas contemporary physicists identify the existence of gravity with space-time curvature (i.e. tidal forces). The interpretation of gravity as a curvature in space-time is an interpretation Einstein did not agree with. 1 Author: Peter M. Brown e-mail: [email protected] 2 INTRODUCTION Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity (EGR) has been credited as the greatest intellectual achievement of the 20th Century. This accomplishment is reflected in Time Magazine’s December 31, 1999 issue 1, which declares Einstein the Person of the Century. Indeed, Einstein is often taken as the model of genius for his work in relativity. It is widely assumed that, according to Einstein’s general theory of relativity, gravitation is a curvature in space-time. There is a well- accepted definition of space-time curvature. As stated by Thorne 2 space-time curvature and tidal gravity are the same thing expressed in different languages, the former in the language of relativity, the later in the language of Newtonian gravity. However one of the main tenants of general relativity is the Principle of Equivalence: A uniform gravitational field is equivalent to a uniformly accelerating frame of reference. This implies that one can create a uniform gravitational field simply by changing one’s frame of reference from an inertial frame of reference to an accelerating frame, which is rather difficult idea to accept.
