भौतिकी: न्यूटन का गुरुत्वाकर्षण और आइंस्टीन

Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation

• Newton's law states that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.
• Mathematically, this is expressed as F = G * (m1 * m2) / r^2, where:
  • F is the gravitational force between the objects
  • G is the gravitational constant
  • m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
  • r is the distance between the centers of the two objects.
• This law accurately describes the gravitational forces between macroscopic objects, like planets and stars.
• It assumes that gravity acts instantaneously across space.

Einstein's General Relativity

• General relativity is a theory of gravitation developed by Albert Einstein.
• It describes gravity not as a force, but as a curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy.
• Massive objects warp the fabric of spacetime, and objects moving in this warped spacetime follow curved paths, which appear to us as gravitational attraction.
• General relativity predicts phenomena that Newton's law doesn't, such as the bending of light by massive objects and the existence of black holes.
• It successfully accounts for observations that Newton's law fails to explain in extreme gravitational fields.

Gravitational Forces

• Gravitational force is attractive and always acts along a line joining the centers of two objects.
• The force of gravity depends on the mass of the objects and the distance between them, as described in Newton's law of universal gravitation and extended by Einstein's general relativity.
• Gravity is a fundamental force of nature, meaning it is one of the four fundamental forces (gravity, electromagnetism, strong nuclear force, and weak nuclear force).
• Gravitational forces are typically much weaker than other fundamental forces at the atomic level, but become dominant for larger and massive objects.

Orbit Dynamics

• Orbit dynamics is the study of how objects move around each other under the influence of their mutual gravitational attraction.
• Kepler's laws describe the motion of planets around the Sun.
• Newton's law of gravitation provides a mathematical framework to understand the forces governing these orbits.
  • Orbits are elliptical, parabolic, or hyperbolic depending on the velocity and initial conditions of the orbiting body, relative to the gravitational field of the central body.
  • The orbital period and shape of an orbit are determined by the mass of the central body and the distance between the orbiting body and the central body.
• General relativity provides a more precise description of orbits, especially for high speeds and/or strong gravitational fields. It also explains the precession of Mercury's orbit, which Newton's theory could not.

Black Holes

• A black hole is a region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape.
• This extreme curvature of spacetime arises from incredibly high mass concentrated in a small volume.
• Black holes can form from the collapse of very massive stars at the end of their lifespan.
• The event horizon of a black hole is the boundary beyond which nothing can escape.
• The singularity is the point at the center of a black hole where the density is theoretically infinite and the laws of general relativity break down.
• Black holes are a powerful tool for studying extreme gravity and the fundamental nature of spacetime.
• Black holes can be detected by their effect on surrounding matter and light.
