If the resultant force acting on a particle is not zero, the particle has an
acceleration proportional to the magnitude of the resultant and in the
direction of this resultant force.
where ƩF represents the sum or resultant of all the forces acting on the
particle.

Motion Under a Central Force and
Conservation of Angular Momentum
• When the only force acting on a particle P is a
force F directed toward or away from a fixed
point O, the particle is said to be moving under
a central force.
32
Motion Under a Central Force and
Conservation of Angular Momentum
• It follows that the position vector r of
the particle P must be perpendicular to
the constant vector HO. Thus, a particle
under a central force moves in a fixed
plane perpendicular to HO.
33
Motion Under a Central Force and
Conservation of Angular Momentum
• Since the gravitational force exerted by the sun on a planet is a central force
directed toward the center of the sun, Eq. is fundamental to the study of
planetary motion.
• Dividing by m and using h to denote the angular momentum per unit mass
HO /m, we have
35
Motion Under a Central Force and
Conservation of Angular Momentum
• The radius vector OP sweeps across an
infinitesimal area dA = 1/2 r2dθ as it rotates
through an angle dθ.
When a particle moves under a central force, its areal velocity is constant.
36
Newton’s Law of Gravitation
Two particles of masses M and m at a distance r
from each other have a mutual attraction of equal
and opposite forces F and - F directed along the
line joining the particles (Fig. 12.17). The common
magnitude F of the two forces is

A satellite is launched in a direction parallel to the surface of the earth with a
velocity of 18,820 mi/h from an altitude of 240 mi. Determine the velocity of
the satellite as it reaches its maximum altitude of 2340 mi. Recall that the

Sample Problem 12.13
A space tug travels a circular orbit with a 6000-mi radius around the earth. In
order to transfer it to a larger orbit with a 24,000-mi radius, the tug is first
placed on an elliptical path AB by firing its engines as it passes through A, thus
increasing its velocity by 3810 mi/h. Determine how much the tug’s velocity
should be increased as it reaches B to insert it into the larger circular orbit.
