Gravitation Class 11 Physics Notes | Chapter 7 Complete Notes
In class 11 Gravitation chapter we will study about Newton's Law of Gravitation, Inertial Mass and Gravitational Mass, Acceleration due to gravity, Variation of acceleration due to gravity, Gravitational potential energy, Weightlessness, Escape Velocity and many more.
Gravitation falls under mechanics branch and has total 8 chapters. Physical Quantities, Vectors, Kinematics, Dynamics, Work,Energy and Power, Circular Motion, Gravitation and Elasticity are the chapters falling under this branch.
Syllabus:
Newton's law of gravitation; gravitational field strength; gravitational potential: gravitational potential energy; variation in value of 'g' due to altitude and depth; centre of mass and Centre of gravity: Motion of a satellite: orbital velocity, and time period of the satellite: escape velocity, potential and kinetic energy of the satellite: geostationary satellite; GPS.
Learning Objectives
After studying this chapter, students should be able to:
- Explain Newton's law of gravitation.
- Define gravitational field strength.
- Define and derive formula of gravitational potential and gravitational potential energy.
- Describe the variation in value of 'g' due to altitude and depth.
- Define center of mass and center of gravity.
- Derive the formula for orbital velocity and time period of satellite. Define escape velocity and derive the expression of escape velocity.
- Find the potential and kinetic energy of the satellite. Define geostationary satellite and state the necessary conditions for it.
- Describe briefly the working principle of Global Position System (GPS.) Solve the numerical problems and conceptual questions regarding related to the gravitation.
