| Objectives of the teaching unit |
|
* To understand the laws of free fall. * To differentiate the mass and the weight of a body. * To understand the meaning of field strength. * To understand that the earth's gravity does not have a constant value. * To make simple calculations about the value of g, the weight of bodies or the movement of satellites. * To explain phenomona like the tides or planetary movement in the solar system. |
