*** What you will learn *** “Gravity, The Basics” teaches the elementary notions you need to understand and apply Newtonian gravity: _ Solving 1-dimensional motion problems (Linear Kinematics), _ Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation, _ What are fields, _ Gravitational fields and gravitational field strength, _ Gravitational field lines, _ Circular motion: angular velocity, centripetal acceleration and force, how to apply these notions to solve questions in physics, _ Orbital motion and the third law of Kepler.

*** Who is this course for? *** This course is suited for high school students studying Physics (from grade 10 to 12).

The content of this course complies with Chapter 6 of the IB Physics Program and Topics 6.2 and 11 of the A-Level Curriculum. It contains many exercises in all sections as well as exam inspired questions (especially section 6). This course is a very valuable tool for preparing any upcoming physics exam that may have questions related to gravity.

This course is also suited as a refresher for early university students that wish to solidify their understanding on Newtonian gravity.

And of course, any person interested in physics and in how the world works will also enjoy the voyage: I often invite my students on adventures beyond the academic…

*** Structure of the course *** “Gravity, The Basics” explores the elementary notions of Newtonian gravity.

Section1: “Linear Motion” (because being comfortable with this notion will allow you to make the most of the full course). This class presents a step-by-step technique to solve all motion problems when the acceleration is constant. This Section can be taken by itself.

Section 2: “Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation”, which you can be seen as a doorway to the deeper dive we carry out in the next classes.

Section 3: “Gravitational Fields”, the core of this course: This class teaches first what is a field, and then dives into a deep description of gra ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsZqX812E2s
