AP Physics Gravity Lab



Title AP Physics Gravity Lab
Description This lab is more for review than for exploration. My students have already done most of the types of calculations for homework. It assumes familiarity with the following concepts/equations: keplers laws, semi-major axis, universal gravitational constant, centripetal force, momentum conservation, gravitational potential energy conservation.
