Period

Time taken for an object to complete one revolution around a circle.

3
New cards

Centripetal Acceleration

Acceleration directed towards the center of a circle in uniform circular motion.

4
New cards

Centripetal Force

Net force required to produce centripetal acceleration to keep an object moving in a circular path.

5
New cards

Apparent Weightlessness

Sensation of weightlessness when an object is freely falling under gravity's influence.

New cards

Artificial Gravity

Simulating gravity through centrifugal force or acceleration to create a gravitational effect in space.
