12. Free Fall
Acceleration due to GRAVITY
Mass doesn’t matter
13. Gravitational Acceleration
Velocity increases at a constant rate
vf - vi
a= t
20m/s - 10 m/s
= 1 second
= 9.8 m/s2
= 32 ft/s2
14. Distance Fallen
Distance = Velocityaverage x time
v i + vf
= 2 x t
0 + gt
= 2 x t
= 1/2 gt2

20. Newton’s Laws of Motion
Every body continues in a state of rest
1)
or in uniform motion in a straight line
unless compelled to change that state
by forces impressed upon it.

“Every object in the
universe is attracted to
and attracts every other
object in the universe by
a force called gravity”

r2 where G
Fg = = 6.67 x 10-11Nm2/kg2
29. g on Uranus?
Fg = m x g = GM1M2/r2
G Mplanet
g = rplanet2
(6.67 x 10-11 Nm2/kg2)(8.44 x 1025 kg)
g =(2.56 x 107 m)2
g = 8.59 m/s2
30. Size of Gravitational Force
(6.67 x 10-11 Nm2/kg2) (60 kg)(60 kg)
Fg = (1 m)2
Fg = 2.4 x 10-7 N
31. Size of Gravitational Force
(6.67 x 10-11 Nm2/kg2) (6 x 1024 kg)(7.35 x 1022kg)
Fg =
(3.83 x 108 m)2
Fg = 2 x 1020 N
32. Escape Velocity
d = 1/2gt2 for objects in free fall
2d = gt2 but t = v/g for free fall
2d/g = t2 = (v/g)2
2 dg = v2
√2dg = v = ESCAPE VELOCITY
33. Escape Velocity
vE = √2dg
= √2gREarth
= √2(9.8m/s2)(6.378 x 106 m)
= 11.18 X 103 m/s
34. How high will it go?
V2 = 2dg
V2/2g = d
(10 m/s)2
2 (9.8 m/s2) =d
d = 5.1 m
35. Newton’s Laws of Motion
In the absence of outside
forces, the total momentum of
a set of objects remains the
same no matter how the
objects interact with one
another.
p=mv
36. Conservation of Momentum
m vbefore = m vafter
(3000 kg)(10m/s) + (1000 kg)(0 m/s) = (3000 kg)v’ + (1000 kg) (15 m/s)
30,000 kg m/s = (3000 kg) v’ + 15,000 kg m/s
15,000 kg m/s = (3000 kg) v’ -------> v’ = 5 m/s
37. Conservation of Momentum
m vbefore = m vafter
(2000 kg) (8 m/s) + (50 kg) (0 m/s) = (2000 + 50 kg) v’
16,000 kg m/s ÷ 2050 kg = v’ = 7.8 m/s
89. Hot Day vs. Cold Day
110° F vs. –30 ° F?
At 110° F = 43.33 °C
vs = 331 m/s + (0.61m/s °C) (43.3 °C)
= 357.43 m/s
At –30 ° F = –34.4 ° C
vs = 331 m/s + (0.61m/s °C) (–34.4 ° C)
= 310 m/s
90. Echolocation
Bat sends signal and
receives echo 0.7 s

how far is the wall?
vs = 331 m/s + (0.61m/s °C) (4°C) =333.4m/s
d = v x t = vs x t/2 = (333.4m/s)(0.35s) =116.7 m
