Time dependent gravity exploration

Time dependent gravity exploration In our universe we have a gravitational constant - i.e gravity is not dependent on time.  If gravity changed with respect to time then the gravitational force exerted by the Sun on Earth would lessen (or increase) over time with all other factors remaining the same. Interestingly time-dependent gravity was first... Continue Reading →

Time dependent gravity and cosmology!

In our universe we have a gravitational constant - i.e gravity is not dependent on time.  If gravity changed with respect to time then the gravitational force exerted by the Sun on Earth would lessen (or increase) over time with all other factors remaining the same.

Projectiles IV: Time dependent gravity!

Projectiles IV: Time dependent gravity! This carries on our exploration of projectile motion - this time we will explore what happens if gravity is not fixed, but is instead a function of time.  (This idea was suggested by and worked through by fellow IB teachers Daniel Hwang and Ferenc Beleznay).   In our universe we...
