This unit covers central force motion, focusing on forces directed toward a fixed point, like gravitational and electrostatic forces. It includes analysis of planetary orbits, conservation laws, and derivation of Kepler’s Laws using Newtonian mechanics. Learn the physics behind orbital motion, effective potential, angular momentum, and the inverse-square law. Essential for BSc Physics students at Kannur University, this topic builds a strong foundation in classical mechanics and celestial dynamics. Gain insight into how bodies move under central forces and why elliptical orbits form. Perfect for exam preparation and competitive physics exams.
