PBD Assessment Physics Form 4 Chapter 3

1. Newton's universal law of gravitation defines the gravitational force (F) between two objects with masses (m1 and m2) separated by a distance (r). The force is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance. 2. Kepler's laws describe the motion of planets orbiting the Sun. The first law states planets move in ellipses with the Sun at one focus. The second law states planets sweep out equal areas in equal times. The third law relates the orbital period (T) of a planet to the semi-major axis (a) of its orbit. 3. For a satellite orbiting Earth, its orbital period depends directly
