This document delves into the intricacies of gravitational forces and their impact on planetary motion. Topics include the relationship between weight, velocity, and location, the effects of changing earth's rotation rate, and kepler's laws of planetary motion. Students will gain a deeper understanding of circular, parabolic, and hyperbolic orbits, as well as the concepts of gravitational potential energy and escape speed.
