A gravitational field may be represented by lines of gravitational force.
State what is meant by a line of gravitational force.
By reference to lines of gravitational force near to the surface of the Earth, explain why the gravitational field strength close to the Earth’s surface is approximately constant.
The Moon may be considered to be a uniform sphere of diameter and mass . The Moon has no atmosphere.
During a collision of the Moon with a meteorite, a rock is thrown vertically up from the surface of the Moon with a speed of .
Assuming that the Moon is isolated in space, determine whether the rock will travel out into distant space or return to the Moon’s surface.
