Description and Tags

20 Terms

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

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.

New cards
6

The universal gravitation constant

G = 6.67Ă—10^-11

New cards
7

Kepler’s first law

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

New cards
8

Kepler’s second law

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

New cards
9

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.

New cards
10

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.”

New cards
11

LIGO

Gravity waves

New cards
12

Newton’s description of gravity

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

New cards
13

Ac = v²/r

Centripetal acceleration’s formula

New cards
14

Fc = (mv²/r) and (4*pi²*rm/T²)

Centripetal force’s formula

New cards
15

F = G*(m1m2/d²)

Formula of Newton’s universal law of gravitation

New cards
16

(T1/T2)² = (r1/r2)³

Formula of Kepler’s Third Law

New cards
17

v = (2*pi*r/T)

Velocity’s formula

New cards
18

Fc = W/Tan0

Centripetal force’s formula based on weight and angle.

New cards
19

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

Percentage of error’s formula

New cards
20

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

Period of revolution’s formula
