Applications of Gravitational Force & Energy

This is part of the HSC Physics Syllabus Module 5: Advanced Mechanics.

There are many applications of gravitational force & energy in outer space. In this post, we will derive quantitatively and apply the concepts of gravitational force and gravitational potential energy in radial gravitational fields to a variety of situations including:

  • Escape velocity
  • Gravitational potential energy
  • The potential energy of a planet or satellite in its orbit
  • The energy of a planet or satellite in its orbit
  • Change in energy between orbits
