Following closely along with the AQA GCSE physics book, this lesson PowerPoint covers chapter 16.3: Planets, Satellites and Orbits.
The lesson objectives are:
- What force keeps planets and satellites moving along their orbits
- The direction of the force on an orbiting body in a circular orbit
- How the velocity of a body in a circular orbit changes as the body moves around the orbit
- Why an orbiting body needs to move at a particular speed for it to stay in a circular orbit
As the content is for triple science students, the lesson has been aimed at high ability. The answers at the end refer to the summary questions in the AQA GCSE physics book, page 237.
