Kā aprēķināt Gravitational Field

Kas ir Gravitational Field?

Gravitational field strength measures the gravitational force per unit mass at a location. It's fundamental to understanding celestial mechanics and tidal forces.

Formula

The calculator applies g = GM / r²
GM
GM value — Variable used in the calculation
g
GM / r² — GM / r²

Worked Examples

Ievade
M = 5.972 × 10²⁴ kg (Earth), r = 6.378 × 10⁶ m (surface)
Rezultāts
g ≈ 9.81 m/s²
Standard gravity at sea level

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Using altitude above surface instead of distance from center
  • Confusing gravitational field with gravitational potential

Frequently Asked Questions

Does gravitational field strength vary with mass of test object?

No, it's independent of test mass. A feather and hammer experience the same field.

Why does gravity follow an inverse square law?

Gravity spreads from a point source in three dimensions; field strength decreases as area increases (4πr²).
