PHS 110 Lesson 5 Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation

AB
Tangential velocityVelocity parallel to the Earth's surface
Vestibular senseDepends on the body's ability to detect acelertation and orientatation in a gravitational field
Gravitationa forceDepends on the product of the two masses attracting and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them
Semicircular canals (in the ear)Detect rotational motion
Otolith organs (in the ear)Detect linar acceleration of the head and head tilt
Center of gravityThe point on an object where an upward force would be balanced by the gravitational force
Centripetal forceAny force that causes an object to maintain a circular path
Path of a projectileParabola
Kepler's 1st LawThe path's of the planets are ellipes, with the sun at one focus
Kepler's 2nd LawAn imgaginary line from the sun to a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal time
Kepler's 3rd LawThe square of the ratio of the periods of any two planets revolving about the sun is equal to the cube of the ratio of their average distances from the sun
Projectile motionThe motion produced when an object has an initial velocity and the ony other force acting on it is gravity
