PHYSICS 12 UNIT 6 - Gravity and Circular Motion
This unit looks at the force of gravity between any two objects which is a review topic from P11.Although potential energy was covered in Physics 11 we only looked at cases with objects very near to Earth's surface, in this unit we look at the gravitational potential energy for objects a large distance from the Earth. Another new topic is circular motion, we study the orbits of moons and planets.
