A54 Integration due; Also, begin reading Chapter 14: Gravitation
|
1st half of period: Read Introduction and Part 1 of Orbits and Gravitation handout; In groups share what you know about these historical figures and developments; 2nd half of period: Read part 2: Physics of Orbits. Begin solving the related problems using the basic physics Fgravity = Fcentripetal as your main starting point.
