Grade 12 Physics: Gravitational Fields

One question a day, with solutions and a Socratic tutor.

Sample questions

Question 01

What is the gravitational force exerted between two 10 kg masses separated by a distance of 2 m? Open question

Question 02

Earth has a mass of \( 5.97 \times 10^{24} \, \text{kg} \) and a radius of \( 6.371 \times 10^6 \, \text{m} \). Calculate the gravitational field strength at Earth’s surface. Open question

Question 03

A satellite orbits Earth at a height of 300 km above its surface. Calculate the gravitational field strength at this height. Open question
