This topic is apart of the HSC Physics syllabus Module 5: Advanced Mechanics.
Learn to investigate the orbital motion of planets and artificial satellites when applying the relationships between the following quantities:
- Gravitational force
The formula for gravitational force is the following:
F = \frac{G M_1 M_2}{R^2}- G is the gravitational constant
- M is the mass of the planets in question
- R is the radius between planets
