Hello Learners!
Here is the last chapter of Class 11 Physics (Book 1) — Gravitation.
I think this chapter doesn’t need much explanation, because you’ve already studied Gravitation in Class 9. The only difference is that now it’s just one level higher — not too difficult. The Kepler’s Laws and Newton’s Law of Gravitation remain the same as before.
The only new concept you’ll find here is about satellites. But don’t worry — you won’t be studying their complex orbital paths. You’ll only learn about satellites that are very close to Earth and move in circular orbits. You just need to understand and derive a few equations related to them — and that’s where this chapter ends.
That’s it! ๐ฏ
