Gravitation

The major goal of this course is to explain the notion of gravitational force, which is one of nature's fundamental forces. It explain the concept of the gravitational field, how gravitation acts between all objects with mass, and how objects are able to orbit the Earth using the concept of Newton's law of gravity and the Gravitational potential energy, it continues to explain the quantitative relationship between mass, acceleration due to gravity, time period, gravitational constant, etc. The questions discussed in this course provide skills to deal with free body diagram problems to indicate the gravitational force on a particle due to another particle or a uniform, spherical distribution of matter.

Orbital Motion - Intro

In physics, orbital motion is the motion of an object around another object, which is often a star or planet. Orbital motion is affected by the gravity of the central object, as well as by the resistance of deep space (which is negligible at the distances of most orbits in the Solar System).

Newton's Law of Gravity - Overview

Sir Isaac Newton described the law of universal gravitation in his work "Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica" (1687). The law states that every point mass attracts every single other point mass by a force pointing along the line intersecting both points. The force is proportional to the product of the two masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Gravitational Potential Energy - Overview

In physics, gravitational potential energy is the energy that a body has by virtue of its position relative to others, and is a function of the distance between the body and the others. The gravitational potential at a point is equal to the work done by the gravitational force acting on a small mass that would be moved from that point to infinity.

Additional Problems - Overview

A problem is a question or task presented to someone, usually as an intellectual challenge. The problem is usually mathematical, is presented in a formal manner, and is expected to be "solved".
