    Perfect Video! Paper 2 is coming soon so these types of videos do the job well. I like how you cover everything important, as I can easily follow along with my AQA textbook and everything key is mentioned by you. A textbook is good but it is an overwhelming amount of information, and videos like this one condense all the most valuable data into less than half an hour!

    You mentioned that G.P.E is -GMm/r but later in the G.P.E=K.E part, you took the G.P.E as GMm/r, so is it supposed to be negative or positive?

    • @zhelyo_physics
      @zhelyo_physics  Год назад +5

      I really wish I could do this in vector form for A Level to avoid this confusion. If you are doing A Level Physics, think of it like this - it is negative, but when solving for r or anything where you need to square root - consider the magnitude only.
      Outside of the spec: F=GMm/r^2 x [r] where [r] is a 3 dimensional unit vector, to find the energy you take the integral of F with the dot product of dr which returns a scalar with no direction (sign problems). This bit is only relevant if you want to do physics at uni.

    • @zhelyo_physics

      Good question, if the values are not given in the question they will end up cancelling or you would be able to calculate them first. Generally I recommend not memorising those.

    When would you use gravitational potential instead of gravitational potential energy?

    • @zhelyo_physics
      @zhelyo_physics  3 года назад +9

      Excellent question. The gravitational potential is independent of the mass of the object that is experiencing it. In exams - chances are the question will probably ask and mention the potential. Otherwise anytime you want to map a gravitational field to have an idea of its characteristics without involving a mass m it acts on. Hope this makes sense!

    What is the difference between the Point mass and the center of the Mass?

    • @zhelyo_physics
      @zhelyo_physics  Год назад +2

      A point mass is assumed to have no size and many theoretical concepts in physics are solved with this idealization.You can even treat something as large as a giant star as a point mass in some cases.
      A collection of those point masses will have a center of mass.

    What if the centre of mass/ point mass is not inside the planet/ mass? E.g like a cartoon crescent moon, would g on one side of the surface be different?

    • @graceogilby7961
      @graceogilby7961 5 месяцев назад

      The centre of gravity is the point at which the weight APPEARS to act, so I'd assume the field is the same radial pattern about that point, just practically it obviously wouldn't work like a sphere. For example, at a centre of gravity which is outside the object, assuming no other forces act on you, you'd be suspended there because that's the point the force is pulling to.

    • @zhelyo_physics
      @zhelyo_physics  Месяц назад

      unfortunately in A Level Physics the negative is included only to show that it's an attractive force (in some exam boards). Almost all questions take into account the magnitude only and if you are doing AQA physics the equation is given without the negative in the formula booklet. Hope this helps!

    EDIT: includes the masses of both planets for a binary system.

    • @zhelyo_physics
      @zhelyo_physics  4 месяца назад +1

      anytime! Very interesting question. In those questions some things to remember are that:
      1) time period is the same as the planets orbit the centre of mass for both planets (for a circular orbit);
      2) the centripetal force and centripetal acceleration on both planets is the same by Newton's 3rd Law
      3) the angular speed of both planets would be the same (assuming circular orbits)

      typically not. Btw, a good way to quickly rederive the mass if you know the radius, g=GM/r^2 set g=9.81 and if you know the radius you can work out the mass. The radius is typically given in the formula booklet but it can vary by exam board. Hope this helps!

    Do i mention about the field being uniform thats it?

    • @zhelyo_physics
      @zhelyo_physics  Год назад +1

      so the field lines are only very very slightly curved near the surface due to the scale of the curveture of the Earth. Near it's surface we can assume the field lines to be parallel. Only near the surface though, if you are looking at astrophysics and the planet as a whole, you need to assume g varies with g=-GM/r^2. Hope this helps!

      Well the magnitude is that, typically in most introductory courses they use the negative sign to show that it is produced by an attractive potential -GM/R. In further courses gravity is just treated as a scalar multiplied by a unit vector that indicates the direction. Hope this helps! : )
