counter clock wise =
POSITIVE torque
clock wise =

DIRECTLY
moment of inertia is the equivalent to what?
the mass that spends on the shape of a rotating object
gravitational force is ____ proportional to the product of the 2 masses
DIRECTLY
gravitational force is ____ proportional to the distance squared
INVERSELY
Keplers first law
the orbit of each planet about the sun is an ellipse with the sun at one focus
Keplers 2nd Law
each planet moves so that an imaginary line drawn from the sun to the planet sweeps out in equal areas in equal times
Keplers 3rd law
the ratio of the squares of the periods of any two planets about the sun is equal to the ratio of the cubes of their average distances from the sun
aphelion
the point where planet is closest to the sun
