Gravity Flashcards
What is gravitation give 2 points
It is a universal force it not only acts between 2 objects on the earth but also between any 2 objects in the universe.
It is a natural phenomenon where it bring anything with mass or energy toward one another
Law of gravity
any particle of matter in the universe attracts any other with a force varying directly as the product of the masses and inversely as the square of the distance between their centers.
What is the law
F=Gm1m2/d^2
What is the G constant called
the universal gravitational constant
What are the 8 properties of gravitational force
1.weakest force in nature
2. It is an attractive force
3. It is a mutual force
4. It is a central force
5. It is mass and distance dependant
6. It obeys inverse square law
7.it is long range force
8. It does not depend on the medium between the interacting bodies.-
The gravitational force of the earth (or gravity) is responsible give 4 -
it keeps us on land
It helps the moon revolve around the earth
Holding the atmosphere above earth for rain
The flow of water in rivers
How does the gravitational force between the the earth and the sun help
it keeps the earth in a uniform circular motion around the sun .
