Hi, I did a quick search but didnt find anything relevant so I apologise if this has been covered.
My A2 Physics book says the following:
My question is, the book does not go into any more detail and i am unsure what this equation is ment to actually be. I think it means G but i am unsure.
Appreciate any help.
My A2 Physics book says the following:
Epotential = Etotal - Ekinetic
Since the kinetic energy is 1/2 mv2, and the gravitational potential Vgrav is Epotential/m, dividing this equation by m gives
Vgrav = constant - 1/2 v2
My question is, the book does not go into any more detail and i am unsure what this equation is ment to actually be. I think it means G but i am unsure.
Appreciate any help.
