Science test #9 Flashcards
gravity
the pull between any 2 objects. the size of the object and the distance between them.
is there gravity in space?
yes there is gravity in space. astronauts look like there is no gravity because they are falling.
F= equation
GMxM2/R^2
F~ equation
M1xM2/r^2
g=
constant
m1 and m2
mass of object one and two
r
the distance between the two objects
kepler’s law
objects do not orbit in a circle but instead an elipse. objects orbit the fastest when they are closest to the sun.
sun fact
the further you are away from the sun the longer your revolution(year) is
rotation
spinning around itself- makes our day
revolution
spinning(orbiting) around another object- makes our year
moon
object orbiting a planet
planet
large object orbiting a star
asteroids
medium rock in space
comets
medium sized chunk mostly ice
