Astronomical Distances
* Let the radius of the Earth be $r_E$. * Radius of the Moon's orbit R. * Distance covered =$2\pi R$. * Use the time taken by moon to cross the Earth's shadow during
lunar eclipse

Gravitation
- Estimating the distance between the earth and the moon. - Earth Moon Distance : R - Radius of the Earth : $r_E$

###
Eclipse
- There are two eclipses: -
Lunar eclipse
: when the earth comes between the sun and moon. -
Solar eclipse
: when the moon comes between the earth and the sun. - $t_{\text{transit time}}= 2 r_e$ is the time taken duration of the eclipse. - Assume that the moon is moving with a constant angular velocity.

###
Lunar Eclipse
- Lunar eclipse takes place on a full moon day and the solar eclipse takes place on a new moon day. - $2 \pi R$ - T $\approx 30$ days. - $2\pi R = 30$ days - $2r_e$ = transit time - $\frac {R}{r_E} =\frac {T}{t_{transit}}\simeq 60$

Earth Sun Distance
- $R$ = distance between earth and the moon. - $R_s$ = distance between the earth and the sun. - $\tan \theta = \frac{R_s}{R}$

Earth Sun Distance
* Earth's radius = 6400 km * Period of the Moon = 30 days * duration of eclipse $\approx$ 3 hours * R $\approx 60 r_E$ * Similar techniques used to estimate planetary distances as well.

The Equivalence Principle
- The word equivalence principle was coined by Einstein almost 500 years after Galileo made the observation. - It is a fundamental principle. - Equivalence principle is embedded in Galilean law of a freely falling body.

###
Equivalence Principle
- Rate of change of momentum of a body is equal to the applied force. - $\frac{d \vec{p}}{d t}=\overrightarrow{F_{a p p}}$ - Different applied forces characterized by different properties. - $\overrightarrow{F_{a p p}}= -{k} \vec {r} \rightarrow$ Hooke Law. - $\overrightarrow{F_{a p p}}= q(\vec{V} \times \vec{B}) \rightarrow$ Lorentz Force - $\overrightarrow{F_{a p p}}= \overrightarrow{q E} \rightarrow$ Coulomb Force - $\overrightarrow{F_{a p p}}= -\vec{k}|\vec{v}| \rightarrow$ Frictional Force

###
Equivalence principle
- $\vec{p}=m \vec{v}$ - $m \frac{d\vec v}{dt}$ = $\vec{f}(\vec{r}, \vec{v}, t)$ - Greater the mass, greater the inertia.

Freely Falling Body
- Let us assume that we take balls of lead, iron, and, stone (different masses). - All of them are released from rest. - If they are released simultaneously, all move together at any given time. - They will reach the earth at the same time.

###
Freely falling
- All bodies are at rest with respect to each other. - They have uniform acceleration irrespective of their mass. - $a \rightarrow g $ is independant of the of the body, size, shape, mass.

Freely falling
- $m \vec{a}=\vec F_{app}$ - ${{\vec{a}}=\frac{\vec {F_{\text {app }}}}{m}}$ - What is the "change" of the body? - Gravitational mass
###
Galilean Laws Kepler Laws Centripetal Forces Gravitation L-4
###
Equivalence Principle
- The force exerted by the earth on the bodies is independent of their mass. - $m\vec a = m\vec g$ - There is a universality of earth's pull on the bodies. - Galilean law of freely falling bodies has given the equivalence principle that earth attracts all bodies towards it with the same acceleration.

Frame of Reference
- A person has a long thread and is moving in a circular motion of radius $R$. -
Center is origin
- x= R $cos \omega t$ - y= R $sin \omega t$ - $x^2+y^2= R^2$, circular motion. -
Center is shifted
- $\left (x-x_0\right) = R \cos\omega t$ - $\left (y-y_0\right) = R \sin\omega t$

Frame of Reference
- $\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{2 x x_0+R^2 \cos ^2 \omega t+x_0^2}$ - $\sqrt{y^2}=\sqrt{2 y y_0+R^2 \sin ^2 \omega t-y_0^2}$ -
New origin with velocity
- $x = x - x_0 - vt$

Heliocentric Model of the Planetary System
- Kepler discovered that the simplert description is when we make a shift to the rest frame of the sun. - Planets are going around the sun rather than around the earth.
