Mission CG7 Gravitational Field Strength

Mission CG7 pertains to the conceptual and mathematical aspect of the gravitational field strength (g) and its connection to universal gravitation. The mission consists of 36 questions organized into 9 Question Groups. You must answer one question from each Question Group to complete the mission. The learning outcomes for this mission are ...

• The student should be able to define the gravitational field strength (g) and identify the variables that affect its value.
• The student should be able to predict the effect of alterations in strategic variables upon the gravitational field strength (g).
