What is the acceleration due to gravity at the space station.

These three short online lessons discuss asteroids, comets and meteors.

Why do astronauts appear weightless despite being near the Earth?

Basics of gravity and the Law of Universal Gravitation.

This unit is about how things move along a straight line or, more scientifically, how things move in one dimension. Examples of this would be the movement (motion) of cars along a straight road or of trains along straight railway tracks.

Other objects in the solar system are discussed in this online textbook viz. asteroids, meteorites, comets and dwarf planets.

Speed necessary for the space station to stay in orbit.

Viewing g as the value of Earth's gravitational field near the surface rather than the acceleration due to gravity near Earth's surface for an object in freefall.

Visualising, adding and breaking down vectors in 2 dimensions.

In this unit you will learn what a force is and find out about different types of forces. This will allow you to identify forces at work in your everyday life and understand the effects of forces.
