The “Discovery” of Gravity We’ve all heard the story…
an apple fell on Newton’s head and he discovered gravity.
Most scholars believe that Newton did see an apple fall and it got him wondering about the rules for falling objects.
He wondered if the force that pulled the apple down also affected the Moon.

Remember Newton’s 1st Law He had already explained that straight-line
motion was perfectly natural and moving in a circle required a force
Johannes Kepler had shown that planets and moons moved in an ellipse.
Newton wanted to understand what made them move that way.
His breakthrough was to explain how the same rules apply to little things like apples and big things like the moon.

Making sense of one force and two very different results
We already learned that the apple will accelerate at about 9.8 m/s2 downward
Newton also knew that the moon accelerates toward the Earth at 0.00272 m/s2

Distance is only part of the story Distance has a large effect on the force of gravity
(we’ll explore this more in a minute) Remember, though F = m • a
The force of gravity is also affected by the massor more correctly, both masses
![Page 8: Gravity Sucks! The acceleration due to gravity on the International space station is 8.7 m/s 2. If an 50 kg astronaut stood on a scale what would it](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56649e375503460f94b2750d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Gravitational Force Gravitational Force is the mutual force of
attraction between particles of matter This force always exists between two masses,
regardless of the medium that separates them It is not just between large masses, like the
sun and the Earth. The chair you are sitting on is attracted to the
person next to you. However, the force of friction between the
chair and the carpet is so great that you don’t move.

Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation is an example of an inverse-square law
This is because the force decreases the further the two objects get from each other.
The distance is measured from the center of each mass.

Remember, the Force of gravity (Fgrav) that acts on an object is the same as that object’s weight (in Newtons)

Tides Newton also used the inverse square
law to explain the tides. People had known for centuries that the
moon affects the tides. No one until Newton knew how it did
this.

Ocean tides are the alternate rising and falling of the surface of the ocean that usually occurs in two intervals everyday, between the hours of 7a.m. to 7p.m.
It is caused by the gravitational attraction of the moon occurring unequally on different parts of the earth.
