What to Focus On

  • Gravitation is a universal force.
  • It acts between any two objects in the universe.
  • Newton concluded that the earth attracts objects towards its centre.
  • Centripetal force acts towards the centre of a circular path.
  • A body in circular motion needs a force continuously directed towards the centre.
  • If the force stops, the body moves along the tangent.
  • Kepler gave three laws of planetary motion.
  • The orbit of a planet is an ellipse with the Sun at one focus.
  • Equal areas are swept in equal times.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Mass and weight are the same thing.

An object with larger mass falls faster than an object with smaller mass.

Free fall means an object must be moving very fast downward.
