Overview

Gravitational interaction dynamics is a fundamental aspect of physics that explains how objects with mass attract each other. This attraction is described by Newton's Law of Gravitation, which quantifies the gravitational force between two masses based on their mass and the distance separating them....

Key Terms

Gravity
A force that attracts two bodies towards each other.

Example: The gravity of Earth keeps us grounded.

Mass
The amount of matter in an object, usually measured in kilograms.

Example: A rock has a mass of 2 kg.

Force
An interaction that changes the motion of an object.

Example: Pushing a door is applying a force.

Orbital Mechanics
The study of the motion of objects in space under the influence of gravitational forces.

Example: Calculating satellite orbits involves orbital mechanics.

Tides
The rise and fall of sea levels caused by the gravitational forces of the moon and sun.

Example: High tides occur when the moon is directly overhead.

Escape Velocity
The minimum speed needed for an object to break free from a planet's gravitational pull.

Example: Earth's escape velocity is about 11.2 km/s.
