Centripital Force Flashcards
Gravitational Force attracts objects to one another as a result of Newton’s ____ Law
3rd law
Gravitational force depends on
- Masses
- Distance
- Masses
Gravitational force acts between all objects with
Mass
- Distance
As distance between objects decrease the force of gravity between the objects
Increases
If all objects have a gravitational force between them, why does the Moon revolve around the Earth and not vice versa?
The Earth has a a greater mass than the moon, the center of mass lies within the earth
If gravitational force acts between all masses, does the Earth accelerate up toward a falling object?
No.
It’s all_________________!!!!!!
Comparative
Treat all masses as though they were concentrated in the
Center
Equation to describe quantitatively
the magnitude of the _____________ force if distance r separates masses m1 and m2
gravitational
G→constant of ________
Universal gravitation
G=______
6.673x10^-11
