Forces can act at a distance and are called non-contact forces. To understand gravitation, we need to understand inertial and gravitational properties of mass.  Gravity is one of the four fundamental forces. This document further discusses the concept of acceleration due to gravity and gravitational potential energy. Gravity is responsible for planetary motion and introduces the Kepler's laws of planetary motion.

#In everyday life, gravitation is most familiar as the cause due to which masses fall to the ground. Gravitation causes dispersed matter to coalesce, and coalesced matter to remain intact, thus accounting for the existence of the Earth, the Sun, and most of the macroscopic objects in the universe. Gravitation is responsible for keeping the Earth and the other planets in their orbits around the Sun; for keeping the Moon in its orbit around the Earth; for the formation of tides; for natural convection, by which fluid flow occurs under the influence of a density gradient and gravity; for heating the interiors of forming stars and planets to very high temperatures; and for various other phenomena observed on Earth and the Universe. These are some of the questions we will explore here.

#When you hang a bucket from a rope what are the forces acting? ''(Tension force is the force that is transmitted through a string, rope, cable or wire when it is pulled tight by forces from opposite ends.  The tension force is directed along the length of the wire and pulls equally on the objects on the opposite ends of the wire.)''
 
#In which direction does tension act?
 
#Is this the same as friction?  When do you notice friction? ''(Frictional force is the force exerted by a surface as an object moves across it or makes an effort to move across it.  When two objects are in contact but are not moving relative to one another then the frictional force between the two surfaces is called static friction.  When the two objects are moving relative to one another, the friction between the surfaces is called the kinetic friction.)''
 
#When you push against an object, any surface, what do you feel? Do you feel a push back?  Normal force is the perpendicular force that is exerted upon an object that is in contact with another stable object.  If a book is resting upon a surface, then the surface is exerting an upward force upon the book in order to support the weight of the book.  A normal force can also be exerted horizontally.  If a person leans against a wall, the wall pushes back on the person.

Notes for teachers

These are short notes that the teacher wants to share about the concept, any locally relevant information, specific instructions on what kind of methodology used and common misconceptions/mistakes.

  1. Forces can act at a distance and are called non-contact forces. To understand gravitation, we need to understand inertial and gravitational properties of mass. Gravity is one of the four fundamental forces. This document further discusses the concept of acceleration due to gravity and gravitational potential energy. Gravity is responsible for planetary motion and introduces the Kepler's laws of planetary motion.
  2. In everyday life, gravitation is most familiar as the cause due to which masses fall to the ground. Gravitation causes dispersed matter to coalesce, and coalesced matter to remain intact, thus accounting for the existence of the Earth, the Sun, and most of the macroscopic objects in the universe. Gravitation is responsible for keeping the Earth and the other planets in their orbits around the Sun; for keeping the Moon in its orbit around the Earth; for the formation of tides; for natural convection, by which fluid flow occurs under the influence of a density gradient and gravity; for heating the interiors of forming stars and planets to very high temperatures; and for various other phenomena observed on Earth and the Universe. These are some of the questions we will explore here.
  3. Gravitational force acts over a distance through a field and is one of the four fundamental forces. Gravitational force is a very small force.
