Earth And Space Flashcards
What is gravity
The force attraction between two objects
What is the law of universal gravity
Every object in the universe attracts every other object
Who is sir Isaac newton
First discovered the properties of gravity,which help him devils his laws of motion
What is mass
The amount of matter in an object
What is weight
The force of gravity on an object
What is force
A push or pull
What is Inertia
An object in motion will stay in motion an object at rest will stay at rest
What is gravity and inertia
Work together to keep the plants in orbit
Gravity exerts a force alongside inertia that pulls the plants in toward the center of the sun the result is the curved elliptical path known as
An orbit
If the mass increases the force in of gravity
Increase’s
If the distance increases the force of gravity
Decrease
What is rotation
The counter clockwise motion was f earth on it axis that causes the day and night cycle
What is Revolution
The movement of one object around another; the counter clockwise movement of the earth around the sun
What does gravity and inertia do combined
Creates a curve path called a orbit
