Learn how to calculate gravitational forces on a spacecraft from Earth and the Moon! Step-by-step physics tutorial covering force equations, vectors, and practical examples for orbital mechanics.

Today we continue on our journey of understanding motion, direction, and velocity. Continuing in our journey of understanding motion, direction, and velocity... today, Shini introduces the ideas of ...

Multiple forces act on an object at the same time. The size and direction of these forces determines the movement of the object. Show the forces acting on an object in a free body diagram. The arrows ...

One of the most important topics taught at the start of introductory physics is the idea of vectors. Students really need proficiency with them if they are to use force and momentum. Just about every ...

Physics, particularly forces and motion, can be challenging. By observing everyday motion, conducting simple experiments, and understanding Newton's laws in plain language, the concepts become more ...
