Science > Physics > Gravitation > Concept of Gravitational Potential In this article, we shall discuss the concept of the gravitational potential at a point in a gravitational field. It is defined as the work done in bringing the unit mass from infinity to that point without acceleration. Considering magnitude only. VG = W / […]
Science > Physics > Gravitation > Concept of Gravitational Field Intensity In this article, we shall study the concept of the gravitational field, its characteristics, the concept of inertial and gravitational mass, and numerical problems on the gravitational field. The Concept of Inertial Mass and Gravitational Mass Inertial Mass: The inertial mass of a body […]
Science > Physics > Gravitation > Numerical Problems on Newton’s Law of Gravitation In this article, we shall learn numerical problems to calculate the gravitational force of attraction between two bodies. Example – 01: Calculate the gravitational force of attraction between two metal spheres each of mass 90 kg, if the distance between their centres […]
Science > Physics > Gravitation >Newton’s Law of Gravitation In this article, we shall study Newton’s law of gravitation, its universality, and universal gravitation constant. Newton’s Law of Gravitation: Statement: Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle of matter with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their […]
Science > Physics > Introduction to Physics List of Sub-Topics: 1.1.1.1 What is Physics? Science word is derived from the Latin word ‘Scientia’ which means ‘to know’. Science has many disciplines, Physics being one of them. The word Physics is derived from the Greek word ‘Fusis’ meaning ‘nature’. Physics is that branch of Science which […]
