GCSE Physics - Gravity, Weight and GPE #3

The video tutorial explains gravity as a force of attraction between objects, influenced by their mass and distance. It covers the concept of gravitational fields and how weight is calculated by multiplying mass with gravitational field strength. The tutorial also introduces gravitational potential energy, calculated using mass, gravitational field strength, and height. An example calculation is provided to illustrate these concepts. The video concludes with a recap of key takeaways, emphasizing the differences between mass and weight, and the formulas for weight and gravitational potential energy.
