Gravitational Potential Energy The two examples above illustrate the two forms of potential energy to be discussed in this course - gravitational potential energy and elastic potential energy. Gravitational potential energy is the energy stored in an object as the result of its vertical position or height. The energy is stored as the result of the gravitational attraction of the Earth for the object. The gravitational potential energy of the massive ball of

surrounding of the place (constant) and k is a constant of proportionality. This law states that the rate of change of temperature is proportional to the difference between the temperature of the object and that of the surrounding environment. In order to get the previous equation to something that we can use‚ we must solve the differential equation. The steps are given below. 1. Separate the variables. Get all the T’s on one side and all the t’s on the other side. The constants can be on either side

HSC PHYSICS: SPACE * 1. “The Earth has a gravitational field that exerts a force on objects both on and around it.” Students learn to “define weight as the force on an object due to a gravitational field.” Mass is the amount of matter in a body whereas weight is the force due to gravity acting on a mass. Mass will not change where the acceleration due to gravity is different but the weight will change. For example‚ bathroom weights are calibrated in kg‚ but actually measure

Earth which in turn can be used to calculate the weight of the world. His experiment however required him to calculate an undefined variable in Newton’s law of universal gravitation known as G or the gravitational constant. Cavendish through his experiment discovered that the Earth’s gravitational constant was 9.8 m/s^2. Cavendish’s experiment made use of two lead spheres connected by a horizontal wooden rod suspended by a thin metal string. His final calculation of Earth’s density was 5.48 times that

Term 3 Uniform Circular Motion When a body moves in a circular path with a constant speed‚ it is said to undergo uniform circular motion. Although the speed is constant‚ velocity is continually changing‚ since it is constantly changing its direction of motion. Centripetal V V ac ac Acceleration is directed towards the centre of the circle and is therefore called “centripetal acceleration.” ac =v^2r ac =v^2r If T is the time taken for one revolution then: V = 2πrT ac =v^2r

Notes Space 1. Earth has a gravitational field that exerts a force on objects both on it and around it. K1 Define weight as the force on an object due to a gravitational field. Mass is the amount of matter within an object‚ measured in kg Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object’s mass measured in newtons (N). Weight is a force thus a vector quantity.

The research was printed in Physics Letters B. It was led by scientists from University of Edinburgh. It was conducted two decades ago. The research indicates that the expansion of the Universe is accelerating. This suggests that Einstein’s Constant may still have a part to play in accounting for dark

ANALYSIS: One vital concept of physics is the energy. The universe possesses energy and matter. For simplicity‚ matter is a substance and energy is used to move these substances. Energy is appearing in various forms. Among those are kinetic‚ gravitational potential‚ elastic potential‚ electric potential‚ thermal‚ chemical‚ etc. Work‚ on the other hand‚ is the change in energy from one form to another by means of an external force. When work is done on an object‚ therefore‚ the object is said to

The Lagrange point phenomenon exists in any system wherein the gravitational fields of two large bodies interact to create five “sweet spots”‚ within which lies the exact centripetal force necessary for a smaller object to remain in a constant orbit with the larger objects. There are five Lagrange points within the Sun-Earth orbit‚ as well as five Lagrange points within the Earth-Moon orbit. These points will vary according to the mass of the two larger objects‚ as well as the distance between
