1

Circular motion

The act or process of moving in circle.

New cards
2

Centripetal acceleration

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

New cards
3

Centripetal force

The force that causes centripetal acceleration.

New cards
4

2*pi*r

Circumference

New cards
5

Newtonā€™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.

New cards
6

The universal gravitation constant

G = 6.67Ɨ10^-11

New cards
7

Keplerā€™s first law

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

New cards
8

Keplerā€™s second law

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

New cards
9

Keplerā€™s third law

Square of the ratio of two planetā€™s periods equals the cube of the ratio of two planetā€™s average radius from the sun.

New cards
10

Einsteinā€™s explanation of gravity

Gravity is a result of the warping, or curving, of space and time, which made up the same space-time ā€œfabric.ā€

New cards
11

LIGO

Gravity waves

New cards
12

Newtonā€™s description of gravity

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

New cards
13

Ac = vĀ²/r

Centripetal accelerationā€™s formula

New cards
14

Fc = (mvĀ²/r) and (4*piĀ²*rm/TĀ²)

Centripetal forceā€™s formula

New cards
15

F = G*(m1m2/dĀ²)

Formula of Newtonā€™s universal law of gravitation

New cards
16

(T1/T2)Ā² = (r1/r2)Ā³

Formula of Keplerā€™s Third Law

New cards
17

v = (2*pi*r/T)

Velocityā€™s formula

New cards
18

Fc = W/Tan0

Centripetal forceā€™s formula based on weight and angle.

New cards
19

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

Percentage of errorā€™s formula

New cards
20

T = (2*pi*r)/T = 2*pi*square root(rĀ³/G*m)

Period of revolutionā€™s formula
