Domain-specific¶
- Free Fall
- OpenStax accordingly treats ascent and descent with the same free-fall equations and defines its elementary ideal as motion without air resistance or friction. Its orbital treatment states the decisive point directly: gravity supplies the centripetal acceleration and is the only force acting on an ideal satellite.
This sourceDerives circular speed and period from gravity as the only force and explains orbiting astronauts as genuinely in free fall.
