The Birth of Modern Physics
• Mechanics - The Study of Motions and Forces
• Fundamental Concepts
• Mass - Amount of matter
• Inertia - Property of Matter Requiring a Force to Change
Motion
• Position - Location in space
- Absolute reference frame a Cartesian concept
• Velocity - Rate at which position changes
- Identified by both speed and direction
• Acceleration - Rate at which velocity changes
• Central Force
The Birth of Modern Physics
• Central Force
Fc = m v2 / R
R
m v
The Birth of Modern Physics
• Central Force
Fc = m v2 / R
Fig. 2.03
• Gravity is a Central Force interaction, that is, the force of
gravity attracts along a straight line between the center of
masses of the two bodies. The center of mass, CM, of a
body is the point where we can imagine all of the mass of
that body to be concentrated. Centripetal acceleration
ac=V2/R
• For objects in the solar system not moving directly
towards or away from the sun, the sun’s gravity causes
centripetal acceleration, a change in the velocity of that
object towards the sun.
Fig. 2.04
• Newton imagined a Cannon on a mountain top, fired a
ball with greater and greater velocity, eventually the ball
would go all the way around the world, that is it would
ORBIT the world. From the surface of the earth escape
velocity is 11 km/s or 24600 miles per hour
Fig. 2.04a
• The Apple and the Moon: Newton’s great insight was to
imagine the same force that caused an apple to fall on earth
also reaches out beyond earth, to the moon for example. He
was able to calculate with great accuracy the motion of the
moon. He calculated that the moon "falls" 1/20 of an inch
each second.
• Using Universal Gravity masses of planets and the sun and
even stars could be calculated.
• Halley used Newton’s Laws to predict the return of what is
now called Halley’s Comet.
• Perturbations or irregularities in the orbit of Uranus led
people to suspect another planet 1846, the discovery of the
Neptune was linked to Newton.
• Newton’s laws were incredibly successful
• Note, the law of gravity was not revised or even suspected to
be wrong, 150 years after Newton
Fig. 2.04b
The Birth of Modern Physics
• Central Force (also known as Centripetal Force)
• Central force required to keep object moving in a circle
Fc = m v2 / R
The Birth of Modern Physics
• Newton 1700 AD
1665-1666 plague was sweeping England … left Cambridge for home …
in next five years he developed his ideas on ….

Newton’s Laws of Motion
1. A Body Remains at Rest or Moves at Uniform
Speed in a Straight Line unless acted Upon by
a Force.
The Birth of Modern Physics
• Central Force
Newton’s Laws of Motion
2. The Change of Motion is Proportional to the
Force Acting on it and in the Direction of the Force
F = m a
4. Drop a ball … speed increases … acceleration … requires force

Newton’s Law of Gravity
• Development of Law of Gravity -
It was insight of genius, not a miraculous revelation
Consider a falling apple …
1) Galileo’s experiment - at the surface of the Earth a wood ball and
a lead ball have the same acceleration due to gravity
From Newton’s Second Law
Fg,lead = mlead alead
Fg,wood = mwood awood
Since alead = awood, then the force of gravity must be proportional to
the mass of the falling object. So, the Law of Gravity must in part
look like …
Fg = mapple
Newton’s Law of Gravity
• Development of Law of Gravity -
2) Newton’s Third Law says that…
the force of gravity from the Earth on the apple
must equal
the force of gravity from the apple on the Earth
so the Law of Gravity must treat both the Earth and the
apple the same way …
Fg = mapplemEarth
