Topic D.1 covers gravitation. Finally! We get to see how gravity will affect objects on a circular path, and we will definitely relate gravitational and centripetal forces.
Topic D.1 - Handout (all solutions)
We will be digging a little deeper into gravitational potential in the AHL section, and discuss gravitational potential energy in greater detail.Â
Topic D.1 - AHL Handout 1 (solutions)
To what extent does the assumption that gravitational fields act uniformly across space shape the knowledge we gain from gravitational theories, and how do these assumptions limit our understanding?
How does the abstract nature of gravitational fields, which cannot be directly observed, influence the justification of knowledge claims in physics and our trust in theoretical models?
