Gravitational Fields
, ① Gravitational field strength
·
A force field is an area in which an
object experiences a non-contact force
.
·
A gravitational field is a force field in which objects with mass experience
an attractive force .
·
Gravitational field Strength (g) is the force per unit mass exerted by
a
gravitational field on an object .
Types of gravitational fields
·
Uniform field : Save gravitational force on a mass
anywhere in the
field
