Q

Newtons 1st law

A

An object moves at constant velocity if there is no net force acting upon it. Objects at rest (velocity=0) tend to stay at rest

15
Q

an objects momentum cannot change unless the object transfers momentum to or from other objects

A

Conservation of momentum.

16
Q

planets rotations and orbit ? change unless the planet transfers angular momentum to another object. Our planets do NOT exchange substantial angular momentum with each other or anything else

A

cConservation of angular momentum. CAN NOT

17
Q

Energy is always

18
Q

Three types of energy

A

kinetic, radiative, potential

19
Q

Kinetic energy (motion)

A

falling rocks, orbiting planets, molecules in air

Thermal depends on temp, density of particles,

20
Q

Radiative energy

A

all light carries energy. Light can cause changes in matter.

21
Q

Potential energy

A

stored energy. can be converted to other two types of energy.

Joule. the standard unit of energy in science
A. Gravitational potential energy
B. Mass energy mass itself is a form of potential energy (Einstein)

22
Q

three types of orbital paths

A

Ellipses
Bound orbits over and over again
unbound orbits paths that bring object close to another object just once.

23
Q

Newton showed 3 kinds of orbits

A

Ellipses
parablolas
hyperbolas

Think of cone sliced up. extends Keplers third law.

24
Universal law of gravitation
every object attracts every other with a gravitational force that is proportional to the product of the ojects masses and declines with the quare of the distance between their centers.
25
if an object can gain energy from transfer with other object it can achieve
escape velocity.
26
sum of an objects kinetic and gravitations potential energy
Orbital energy.
27
tidal force
moons gravity. stretches earth along the Earth-moon line.
28
Earths rotation carries us through the two bulges each day. 2 high tides 2 low tides leads to ?
Tidal friction . slowing earths rotation and explains the Synchronous rotation of the moon
29
Do all objects fall at the same rate
YES. acceleration of gravity is independent of mass
