This resource is a comprehensive teaching presentation that introduces students to the fundamental principles of gravity, field strength, and potential. It explains concepts clearly with diagrams, worked examples, and practice questions, making it an ideal tool for both classroom delivery and independent study.
The resource includes:
- Gravitational fields: definition, radial and uniform fields, and field line diagrams.
- Newton’s law of gravitation: force between masses, proportionality, and universal gravitational constant.
- Worked examples: calculating gravitational attraction between objects from small particles to planets.
- Gravity and orbits: satellites, centripetal force, geostationary orbits, and orbital motion calculations.
- Gravitational field strength: variation with distance, near-Earth uniform fields, and planetary differences.
- Gravitational potential and gravitational potential energy, including negative potential and escape velocity.
- Exam-style questions, extension problems, and textbook references for practice and consolidation.
This resource can be used by teachers as a lesson presentation, revision guide, or problem-solving toolkit, while students can use it for exam preparation and self-study.
