Planetary Dynamics

🪐 Planetary Dynamics — AristoMind Academy

Master the motion of rockets and celestial bodies.

This in-depth course in orbital mechanics and advanced Newtonian dynamics is ideal for first-year physics students, aspiring aerospace engineers, and mathematically curious learners. Combining detailed derivations, clear illustrations, and over 40 fully worked problems, this book helps you understand both terrestrial and cosmic motion with confidence.

📘 What You’ll Learn

🚀 Rocket Motion
Learn to derive and apply the rocket equation in one and two stages. Analyze real launch profiles — horizontal, vertical, and against gravity.

🌀 Angular Momentum & Torque
Build a deep understanding of angular motion, polar coordinates, and torque. Includes step-by-step breakdowns of central force motion in 1D and 2D.

🌍 Central Forces
Discover how energy conservation governs orbits. From effective potentials to spring forces and binary systems, master key concepts through derivations and visual guides.

🔭 Planetary Orbits
Dive into the geometry of elliptical and hyperbolic orbits. Understand the significance of orbital parameters and closest approach in scattering.

📐 Kepler’s Laws
Fully prove Kepler’s laws from Newton’s laws. Includes a section on experimental confirmations and how these principles shape satellite motion today.

📚 What's Included

✅ 130+ beautifully formatted pages
✅ 45+ fully solved problems
✅ 100+ original illustrations and diagrams
✅ Exam-focused summaries for each chapter
✅ Clickable boxed equations for instant reference

💡 Why AristoMind?

This course was created by someone who’s been through the same journey — trained at Oxford and now pursuing a PhD in theoretical physics at Queen Mary University of London, a leading research institute in the field. His work focuses on scattering amplitudes and their connection to black hole physics. You can learn more on the About Us page and the FAQ page.

"From Physics Olympiad training to my years at Oxford and now deep into PhD research, one lesson has remained constant: real understanding comes from solving problems, not memorising facts. That’s why this course focuses on clear explanations, step-by-step solutions, and exam-focused summaries — to help you truly grasp and retain the material.

It’s designed for students in physics, engineering, or mathematics who want to build clarity and confidence as they learn."
