Energy of objectives in a gravitational field
These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:
- State that the energy in the gravitational store depends only on the mass of an object and its position in the gravitational field.
- Describe how gravitational field strength affects the amount of energy in the gravitational store.
- Explain how the work done by a force can change the amount of energy in the gravitational store.
- Predict how one quantity in the equation ΔE_grav=mgh is affected by changes in the other quantities.
- Carry out calculations using the equation ΔE_grav=mgh that require rearranging the equation.The resources include details of common misconceptions and a summary of the research upon which the resources are based.
Download the zip file for all the questions and activities.
