    This physics lesson plan covers the topic of gravitation. It begins with an introduction discussing humanity's longstanding curiosity about celestial phenomena in the sky. It then provides a timeline of scientific thinkers from Aristotle to Stephen Hawking who studied planetary and celestial motion. Next, it describes Newton's universal law of gravitation, which states that every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The lesson plan also notes that gravitation continues to be an active area of research, with the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics awarded for the detection of gravitational waves. It concludes by presenting Newton's law of gravitation mathematically and diagrammatically.

    The document discusses the history and development of the theory of gravitation from ancient thinkers to Newton. It also mentions some recent developments like the detection of gravitational waves.

    Newton's law of gravitation states that every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

    Celestial objects refer to objects in space like stars, planets, comets etc. Terrestrial objects refer to objects on the surface of celestial bodies like Earth.

    INTRODUCTION

    1. Natural Phenomena

    i. We are amazed looking at the Glittering sky.


    ii. We wonder how the Sun rises in the East and sets in the West.
    iii. Why there are comets or why stars twinkle.

    2. Our Curiosity towards these Phenomena


    The sky has been an object of curiosity for human beings from time immemorial. We have
    always wondered about the motion of stars, the Moon, and the planets.

    3. Time Line
    From Aristotle to Stephen Hawking, great minds have tried to understand the movement of
    celestial objects in space and what causes their motion.

    UNIVERSAL LAW OF GRAVITATION


    The ‘Theory of Gravitation’ was developed by Newton in the late 17th century to explain the
    motion of celestial objects and terrestrial objects and answer most of the queries raised.

    In spite of the study of gravitation and its effect on celestial objects, spanning last three centuries,
    “gravitation” is still one of the active areas of research in physics today.

    Tit bits In 2017, the Nobel Prize in Physics was given for the detection of ‘Gravitational
    waves’ which was theoretically predicted by Albert Einstein in the year 1915.

    Understanding planetary motion, the formation of stars and galaxies, and recently massive
    objects like black holes and their life cycle have remained the focus of study for the past few
    centuries in physics.
    Newton’s law of Gravitation states that a particle of mass M1 attracts any other particle of mass
    M2 in the universe with an attractive force.
    “The strength of this force of attraction was found to be directly proportional to the product of
    their masses and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.”
    In mathematical form, it can be written as:

    Where r is the unit vector from M1 towards M2 as shown in Figure above, and G is the
    Gravitational constant that has the value of 66.71-11N2m-2kg,and r is the distance between the two
    masses M1and M2.
    In Figure above, the vector F denotes the gravitational force experienced by M2 due to
    M1. Here the negative sign indicates that the gravitational force is always attractive in nature and
    the direction of the force is along the line joining the two masses.
