On the specification
| Board | Spec | Statement |
|---|---|---|
| AQA GCSE 8463 | 4.8.1.3b | Orbital motion, natural and artificial satellites |
| Edexcel GCSE 1PH0 | 7.6P | Explain for circular orbits how the force of gravity can lead to changing velocity of a planet but unchanged speed |
| Edexcel GCSE 1PH0 | 7.7P | Explain how, for a stable orbit, the radius must change if orbital speed changes (qualitative only) |
| OCR GCSE J249 | P8.3f | Explain for circular orbits, how the force of gravity can lead to changing velocity of a planet but unchanged speed (qualitative only) |
| OCR GCSE J249 | P8.3g | Explain how, for a stable orbit, the radius must change if this speed changes (qualitative only) |
For teachers
This GCSE Physics lesson teaches circular orbits: gravity changes velocity, not speed (triple). It suits Foundation and Higher tier students.
