What is the acceleration due to gravity at the space station.

This video explains the angles of elevation and depression.

Why do astronauts appear weightless despite being near the Earth?

Basics of gravity and the Law of Universal Gravitation.

This unit is about how things move along a straight line or, more scientifically, how things move in one dimension. Examples of this would be the movement (motion) of cars along a straight road or of trains along straight railway tracks.

This online resource introduces the geocentric and heliocentric models. Exoplants, planets and their motions, planetary orbits, the role of gravity and how the solar system was formed are also covered. 

This fascinating video details the journey that a group of friends made in Nevada. Their aim was to illustrate the solar system to scale.

Speed necessary for the space station to stay in orbit.

An online application to test your knowledge of evaluating trigonometric functions of special angles.

By the end of this unit you will be able to:

• Define and use the trigonometric ratios of cosθ, sinθ and tanθ.
• Calculate the trigonometric ratios in each quadrant of the Cartesian plane.
• Calculate the value of expressions containing trigonometric ratios.
