Name: AP Physics C: Universal Gravitation Review (Mechanics)
Category: Oscillations & Gravity
Date Added: 2017-12-22
Submitter: Flipping Physics

Calculus based review of Universal Gravitation including Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation, solving for the acceleration due to gravity in a constant gravitational field, universal gravitational potential energy, graphing universal gravitational potential energy between an object and the Earth, three example problems (binding energy, escape velocity and orbital energy), and Kepler’s three laws. For the calculus based AP Physics C mechanics exam.
