Study Notes
Gravitational Force
- The gravitational force governs the motion of celestial bodies, such as the moon and artificial satellites around the Earth, and the motion of planets around the Sun.
- Gravitational force is weaker compared to nuclear force, but it acts over a much larger distance.
Relationship between Gravitational Force and Weight
- Gravitational force and weight are related, as weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object.
Characteristics of Gravitational Force
- The gravitational force exists everywhere in the universe, and it is always attractive in nature.
- It is a universal force that affects all objects with mass, from the smallest subatomic particles to the largest structures in the universe.
Range of Gravitational Force
- The range of gravitational force is infinite, unlike nuclear force, which has a very short range.
Understanding Fundamental Forces
- The best way to understand the fundamental forces of nature, including gravity, is to study the interactions between particles and objects at different scales.
