- Escape velocity for a body to escape the
gravitational field of earth is 11.2 km per second
(kps). Don’t confuse it with kph as that’s km per
hour which is, in fact, very slow for an escape
velocity. - All statements are true.
- Gravitational force is a conservative force.
Therefore, the work done by it is path
independent. - F = GMm/(r^2)
or, G = F.(r^2)/Mm
So, the unit is N.(m^2)/(kg^2). - Kepler’s 2nd law (Law of areas) states that
the speed of the planet is minimum when it is
farthest from the sun. It is maximum when the
planet is closest to the sun. - SI unit of gravitational potential is joule/kg.
So, its CGS unit is erg/gram. - All the planets move in elliptical orbits with
the sun situated at one of the foci of the ellipse,
according to Kepler’s 1st law of planetory
motion (law of orbits). - The product of gravitational potential and
mass of the body gives gravitational potential
energy. - The value of G was given by scientist Henry
Cavendish in 1798. - Graviton is the hypothetical particle that is
supposed to be mediating the gravitational
interaction, which is the weakest interaction of
all the four fundamental forces.
