What to Focus On

  • Gravitation is an attractive force between every pair of particles.
  • It acts throughout the universe.
  • The force is proportional to the product of masses and inversely proportional to the square of distance.

  • Acceleration due to gravity is the acceleration of a freely falling body caused by earth’s gravity.
  • F = mg.
  • g = GM/(r^2).

  • Equations of motion under gravity are the same as uniformly accelerated motion, with a replaced by g.
  • For upward motion, g is negative.
  • The final velocity at the highest point is zero.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Mass and weight are the same thing.

A freely falling body has no gravity acting on it.

Heavier objects fall faster than lighter objects because gravity pulls more on them.

Memory Tips

Newton's law of gravitation

Direction of gravitational force

Gravity near Earth

Why objects fall at the same rate
