Chapter 9 - Gravity

9.1 - The Universal Law of Gravity

• HS-PS2-4. Use mathematical representations of Newton’s Law of Gravitation and Coulomb’s Law to describe and predict the gravitational and electrostatic forces between objects.
  • Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on both quantitative and conceptual descriptions of gravitational and electric fields.
  • Assessment Boundary: Assessment is limited to systems with two objects.

9.2 - The Universal Gravitational Constant, G

• HS-PS2-4. Use mathematical representations of Newton’s Law of Gravitation and Coulomb’s Law to describe and predict the gravitational and electrostatic forces between objects.

9.3 - Gravity and Distance: The Inverse Square Law

• HS-PS2-4. Use mathematical representations of Newton’s Law of Gravitation and Coulomb’s Law to describe and predict the gravitational and electrostatic forces between objects.
