AP Physics 1: Review of Universal Gravitation

The video reviews universal gravitation topics for the AP Physics 1 exam, focusing on Newton's universal law of gravitation, the differences between planet-specific and universal gravity equations, and the concept of gravitational fields. It explains how to calculate satellite velocity and discusses gravitational potential energy in both constant and non-constant fields. The lesson concludes with a preview of the next topic, simple harmonic motion.
