All resources for P8.2 Powering Earth GCSE OCR Physics Gateway 9-1. Triple and combined (Higher and Foundation) is covered in this material. Key facts about the Big-Bang model Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB, CMBR) Doppler Red shift of light from stars in galaxies Hubble’s evidence of absorption spectra being red shifted Structure of the solar system Nuclear Fusion Evolution of large stars Evolution of Sun like stars Gravitational force and force from nuclear fusion Natural Satellites Geostationary Satellites Low Polar Orbit Satellites Speed is constant and velocity is changing in stable orbits. Changing speed and radius Gravitational force, acceleration, and speed. Plotting data and describing relationships All objects emit electromagnetic radiation Describe how changing temperature changes frequency, wavelength, and intensity of the radiation produced. Explain why objects change temperature by absorbing and emitting radiation. Explain why the temperature of the Earth changes due to greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. S and P waves Structure of the Earth Reflection, absorption, and refraction of waves Sonar to map the ocean floor
