Key Topics to Revise

1

Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation

  • Every body in the universe attracts every other body with a force directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them
  • Gravitational force is always attractive and acts along the line joining the centers of two bodies
  • The force is mutual - both bodies experience equal and opposite forces (Newton's third law)
2

Acceleration Due to Gravity

  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) is the acceleration produced in a body due to Earth's gravitational force
  • At Earth's surface: g = 9.8 ms⁻² (standard value)
  • g is independent of the mass of the falling object - all objects fall with same acceleration
3

Gravitational Field and Potential Energy

  • Gravitational field is the region around a mass where other masses experience gravitational force
  • Field strength E = F/m = force per unit mass
  • Gravitational potential energy is the work done to bring a mass from infinity to that point
4

Weight and Mass

  • Weight is the gravitational force acting on a body: W = mg
  • Mass is an intrinsic property and remains constant everywhere
  • Weight varies with location due to variation in g
