Number 1 : Usually Always About Gravitation (Usually 8 marks)
Formulas to know mainly :
1) w=2 pi / T or 2 pi F
2) F=1/T
3) Fg = GMm/r^2 (point masses)
4) Fc = mrw^2 or mv^2/r
5)gravitational potential = -GM/r
6) Gravitational potential energy = -GMm/r
7) Fc=Fg (gravitational force provides centripetal force)
8) Change in G.P.E = Final G.P.E - Initial G.P.E = -GMm/r1 -(-GMm/r2)
9)K.E = GMm/2r
10) g= F/m = GM/r^2 ( know how to derive)
11) Escape velocity : Using (Change in G.P.E = Change in K.E) (GMm/r = 1/2 mv^2)(Escape velocity= (2GM/r)^1/2) )
Definitions :
Newtons Law of Gravitation : Gravitational force between 2 point masses is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them
Gravitational Field : Region of Space in Which a mass experiences a force
Gravitational Field Strength : It is the Gravitational force acting per unit mass
Gravitational Potential : Work done in Moving unit mass from infinity to the point
Geostationary Orbits : 1) Orbit around the equator with a period of 24 hours 2)Object is always at one spot in sky 3)Orbits from West to East
Additional Information :
Gravitational Potential is always negative:
1) Potential at infinity is defined to be zero
2) Gravitational Forces are always attractive
3) Work is got out by moving mass from infinity to the point
Circular orbits : Gravitational Force provides the Centripetal Force
Gravitational potential and Electric Potential : 1) Both involve W.D To bring Unit mass/positive charge from infinity to the point 2) Potential for gravitational always -ve , for Elective can be -ve or +ve
This is Just for topic 1 ..I will be posting the rest soon.. Pls drop down ur comments and feedbacks.
And if anything Pls don't hesitate to ask .
