1
New cards

Circular motion

The act or process of moving in circle.

2
New cards

Centripetal acceleration

The acceleration toward the center of the circle in order to keep an object traveling in a circular path.

3
New cards

Centripetal force

The force that causes centripetal acceleration.

4
New cards

2*pi*r

Circumference

5
New cards

Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation

The law states that every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force along an imaginary line between them.

6
New cards

The universal gravitation constant

G = 6.67×10^-11

7
New cards

Kepler’s first law

The path of each planet around the sun is an ellipse with the sun at one focus.

8
New cards

Kepler’s second law

The radius from sun to plant sweeps out equal areas in equal time.

9
New cards

Kepler’s third law

Square of the ratio of two planet’s periods equals the cube of the ratio of two planet’s average radius from the sun.

10
New cards

Einstein’s explanation of gravity

Gravity is a result of the warping, or curving, of space and time, which made up the same space-time “fabric.”

11
New cards

LIGO

Gravity waves

12
New cards

Newton’s description of gravity

Gravity is a force of attraction between all objects with mass in the universe.

13
New cards

Ac = v²/r

Centripetal acceleration’s formula

14
New cards

Fc = (mv²/r) and (4*pi²*rm/T²)

Centripetal force’s formula

15
New cards

F = G*(m1m2/d²)

Formula of Newton’s universal law of gravitation

16
New cards

(T1/T2)² = (r1/r2)³

Formula of Kepler’s Third Law

17
New cards

v = (2*pi*r/T)

Velocity’s formula

18
New cards

Fc = W/Tan0

Centripetal force’s formula based on weight and angle.

19
New cards

%Error = (Fc1 - Fc2)*100%/Fc1

Percentage of error’s formula

20
New cards

T = (2*pi*r)/T = 2*pi*square root(r³/G*m)

Period of revolution’s formula
