NASA LIFTOFF
Instructional Case
How is it possible that celestial bodies are in a state of perpetual motion without thrust?
generative question:
NASA LIFTOFF
Instructional Case
1. e. Students will relate the universal law of gravitation and the effect of gravity on an object at the surface of Earth.
1. f. Students will show that by applying a force to an object perpendicular to the direction of its motion causes the object to change direction but not speed (e.g., Earth’s gravitational force causes a satellite in a circular orbit to change
direction but not speed).1. g. Students will model circular motion with the required application of a
constant force directed toward the center of the circle through the equation .
1. l Students will solve problems in circular motion by using the formula for centripetal acceleration in the following form: .
1. m Students will solve problems involving the forces between two masses at a distance (universal gravitation) using the form:
