Debussy: La Mer Galileo Galilei in His 1632 Dialogue Concerning the Two Debussy: La Mer Galileo Galilei in his 1632 Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, whose working title was Dialogue on the Tides, attributed the tides to the sloshing of water caused by the Earth's movement around the sun. At the same time Johannes Kepler correctly suggested that the Moon caused the tides. Isaac Newton was the first person to explain tides, in the Principia (1687), as the product of the gravitational attraction of astronomical masses. In 1740, the AdéiRAcadémie Roya ldSile des Sciences iPiin Paris o ffdffered a pr ize f or th e best theoretical essay on tides. Daniel Bernoulli, Leonhard Euler, Colin Maclaurin and Antoine Cavalleri shared the prize. Pierre-Simon Laplace formulated the first major dynamic theory for water tides. The Laplace tidal equations are still in use today. Kelvin and Henri Poincaré further developed Laplace's theory. EN4 : Vibrations March, 2013 Lectured by K.-S.

  • The Astronomers Tycho Brahe and Johannes Kepler
    Ice Core Records – From Volcanoes to Supernovas The Astronomers Tycho Brahe and Johannes Kepler Tycho Brahe (1546-1601, shown at left) was a nobleman from Denmark who made astronomy his life's work because he was so impressed when, as a boy, he saw an eclipse of the Sun take place at exactly the time it was predicted. Tycho's life's work in astronomy consisted of measuring the positions of the stars, planets, Moon, and Sun, every night and day possible, and carefully recording these measurements, year after year. Johannes Kepler (1571-1630, below right) came from a poor German family. He did not have it easy growing Tycho Brahe up. His father was a soldier, who was killed in a war, and his mother (who was once accused of witchcraft) did not treat him well. Kepler was taken out of school when he was a boy so that he could make money for the family by working as a waiter in an inn. As a young man Kepler studied theology and science, and discovered that he liked science better. He became an accomplished mathematician and a persistent and determined calculator. He was driven to find an explanation for order in the universe. He was convinced that the order of the planets and their movement through the sky could be explained through mathematical calculation and careful thinking. Johannes Kepler Tycho wanted to study science so that he could learn how to predict eclipses. He studied mathematics and astronomy in Germany. Then, in 1571, when he was 25, Tycho built his own observatory on an island (the King of Denmark gave him the island and some additional money just for that purpose).

On the occasion of the 300th anniversary (on April 15, 2007) of Euler’s birth, an attempt is made to bring Euler’s genius to the attention of a broad segment of the educated public. The three stations of his life—Basel, St. Petersburg, andBerlin—are sketchedandthe principal works identified in more or less chronological order. To convey a flavor of his work andits impact on modernscience, a few of Euler’s memorable contributions are selected anddiscussedinmore detail.

Introduction. It is a virtually impossible task to do justice, in a short span of time and space, to the great genius of Leonhard Euler. All we can do, in this lecture, is to bring across some glimpses of Euler’s incredibly voluminous and diverse work, which today fills 74 massive volumes of the Opera omnia (with two more to come). Nine additional volumes of correspondence are planned and have already appeared in part, and about seven volumes of notebooks and diaries still await editing! We begin in section 2 with a brief outline of Euler’s life, going through the three stations of his life: Basel, St.

  • Gravity, Orbital Motion, and Relativity
    Gravity, Orbital Motion,& Relativity Early Astronomy Early Times • As far as we know, humans have always been interested in the motions of objects in the sky. • Not only did early humans navigate by means of the sky, but the motions of objects in the sky predicted the changing of the seasons, etc. • There were many early attempts both to describe and explain the motions of stars and planets in the sky. • All were unsatisfactory, for one reason or another. The Earth-Centered Universe • A geocentric (Earth-centered) solar system is often credited to Ptolemy, an Alexandrian Greek, although the idea is very old. • Ptolemy’s solar system could be made to fit the observational data pretty well, but only by becoming very complicated. Copernicus’ Solar System • The Polish cleric Copernicus proposed a heliocentric (Sun centered) solar system in the 1500’s. Objections to Copernicus How could Earth be moving at enormous speeds when we don’t feel it? . (Copernicus didn’t know about inertia.) Why can’t we detect Earth’s motion against the background stars (stellar parallax)? Copernicus’ model did not fit the observational data very well. Galileo • Galileo Galilei - February15,1564 – January 8, 1642 • Galileo became convinced that Copernicus was correct by observations of the Sun, Venus, and the moons of Jupiter using the newly-invented telescope. • Perhaps Galileo was motivated to understand inertia by his desire to understand and defend Copernicus’ ideas. Orbital Motion Tycho and Kepler • In the late 1500’s, a Danish nobleman named Tycho Brahe set out to make the most accurate measurements of planetary motions to date, in order to validate his own ideas of planetary motion.

Johannes Kepler grew up in an exciting time for scientists. During his lifetime, the way people looked at the heavens was changing. In the old way of understanding the universe, or the solar system as we call it today, the earth was at the center. The planets were believed to (1) around the earth, and the stars never changed. Some scientists pictured the heavens as a series of crystal spheres that turned slowly around the (2) . The planets were fastened to these spheres. and that is how they moved. This was not just the (3) position of that time; it was also the (4) position. The Church taught that the arrangement of the solar system was part of God's plan. God was known as the Prime Mover of the spheres, and Heaven was located in the (5) sphere. This had been the accepted view of the solar system for nearly 2,000 years. In the 1 500s and 1600s, some scientists were beginning to question all or part of this theory. (6) had already stated that the sun, not the earth, was at the center of the solar system. (7) had been condemned by the Church for publishing similar views. Another scientist, Tycho Brahe, had built an observatory and begun to take careful measurements of the objects in the sky. Johannes Kepler went to work for Tycho Brahe as his assistant.

  • The Mass of the Sun
    Name Date The Mass of the Sun Orbits The planets in our Solar System all orbit the Sun in elliptical orbits. Most planetary orbits are, however, almost circular. Since the planets are moving in circles they must be experiencing a centripetal acceleration. We know that the centripetal acceleration on an orbiting body (e.g. a planet) is given by: = where r is the distance from the central body (e.g. the Sun), and v is the velocity it is moving at. The centripetal acceleration is caused by the gravitational attraction of the two bodies, which is given by: = where M is the mass of the central body, m is the mass of the orbiting body, and G is Newton’s Gravitational constant and is equal to 6.67 x 10-11 m3 s-2 kg-1 Since the centripetal acceleration is caused by the gravitational force, we use Newton's 2nd law: = Putting the first two equations into the third one we therefore know that: = We can then work out a relationship between the velocity, the mass of the central object, and the orbital radius: = The Mass of the Sun Name Date Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion In 1605 Johannes Kepler wrote down three laws of planetary orbits: 1. The orbit of every planet is an ellipse with the Sun at a focus. 2. A line joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time. 3. The square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi- major axis of its orbit.

  • 4. Central Forces
    4. Central Forces In this section we will study the three-dimensional motion of a particle in a central force potential. Such a system obeys the equation of motion mx¨ = V (r)(4.1) r where the potential depends only on r = x .Sincebothgravitationalandelectrostatic | | forces are of this form, solutions to this equation contain some of the most important results in classical physics. Our first line of attack in solving (4.1)istouseangularmomentum.Recallthatthis is defined as L = mx x˙ ⇥ We already saw in Section 2.2.2 that angular momentum is conserved in a central potential. The proof is straightforward: dL = mx x¨ = x V =0 dt ⇥ − ⇥r where the final equality follows because V is parallel to x. r The conservation of angular momentum has an important consequence: all motion takes place in a plane. This follows because L is a fixed, unchanging vector which, by construction, obeys L x =0 · So the position of the particle always lies in a plane perpendicular to L.Bythesame argument, L x˙ =0sothevelocityoftheparticlealsoliesinthesameplane.Inthis · way the three-dimensional dynamics is reduced to dynamics on a plane. 4.1 Polar Coordinates in the Plane We’ve learned that the motion lies in a plane. It will turn out to be much easier if we work with polar coordinates on the plane rather than Cartesian coordinates. For this reason, we take a brief detour to explain some relevant aspects of polar coordinates. To start, we rotate our coordinate system so that the angular momentum points in the z-direction and all motion takes place in the (x, y)plane.Wethendefinetheusual polar coordinates x = r cos ✓, y= r sin ✓ –48– Our goal is to express both the velocity and acceleration y ^ ^ θ r in polar coordinates.

  • Kepler's Laws for Planets and Satellites Learning Objectives
    Department of Physics United States Naval Academy Lecture 33: Kepler’s Laws for Planets and Satellites Learning Objectives • State Kepler’s three laws and identify which of the laws is equivalent to the law of conservation of angular momentum. For an orbiting natural or artificial satellite, apply Kepler’s relationship between the orbital period and radius and the mass of the astronomical body being orbited. Kepler’s Laws Studies of the motion of the Moon, the planets, and other celestial bodies provided valuable information for Newton in his work on gravitation. Of the many important astronomers prior to the time of Newton, one of the most famous is Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) of the famed Kepler’s laws of planetary motion. These laws are not ”laws of nature” in the sense of Newton’s laws of motion or New- ton’s law of gravitation. Rather, Kepler’s laws are mathematical rules that describe motion in the solar system. They state that (a) The law of orbits. All planets move in elliptical orbits with the Sun at one focus. • Any object bound to another by an inverse square law will move in an elliptical path • Second focus is empty (b) The law of areas. A line joining any planet to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal time intervals. (This statement is equivalent to conservation of angular momentum.)

The book is made unique by the author’s perspective. He reflects the historical path to his Dynamic Universe theory that opens an unparalleled perspective to a deeper understanding of the harmony in nature – to click the pieces of the puzzle into their places. The book opens a unique possibility for the reader to make his own evaluation of the postulates behind our present understanding of reality. – Tarja Kallio-Tamminen, PhD, theoretical philosophy, MSc, high energy physics The book gives an exceptionally interesting perspective on the history of science and the development paths that have led to our scientific picture of physical reality. As a philosophical question, the reader may conclude how much the development has been directed by coincidences, and whether the picture of reality would have been different if another path had been chosen. – Heikki Sipilä, PhD, nuclear physics Would other routes have been chosen, if all modern experiments had been available to the early scientists?
