    This unit covers motion in a central force field over 3 weeks with 9 lectures and 3 tutorials. It examines central potential, conservation of energy and angular momentum, effective potential, and how this applies to Kepler's laws of planetary motion and satellite orbits. A key theme is how symmetry and conservation laws relate to describing orbital motion.
