Explore the impact of different power laws on gravitational potential energy in this physics video from the "Root Finder in Space" series. Investigate how changes in the laws of the universe affect aphelion and perihelion, and discover the value of logarithmic plots in visualizing these relationships. Access the Scilab code used in the video to experiment with various gravitational potentials and their effects on orbital mechanics. Gain insights into advanced physics concepts while enjoying background music by Kevin MacLeod, licensed under Creative Commons.
