Chapter 3 : Gravitation
What will you learn in this chapter
Next, we will study Kepler's Laws, which describe the motion of planets and other celestial bodies. We will learn about Kepler's First, Second, and Third Laws, and how they help us understand the movement of objects in space. We will also explore Kepler's Third Law, which relates the period and distance of a planet's orbit.
Lastly, we will focus on man-made satellites. We will learn how satellites maintain their orbits at specific heights by adjusting their velocities. We will also discuss the difference between geostationary and non-geostationary satellites and their uses in communication.
By the end of this chapter, we will have a solid understanding of gravitation, Kepler's Laws, and man-made satellites. We will be able to solve problems related to Newton's Law of Gravitation and comprehend the principles behind satellite orbits.
