science test 3/22

Question 1

keplers law of planetary motion

Answer 1

a statellite orbits a primary in an eliptical path. The primary is located at a focus point of the ellipse

Question 2

Closet

Answer 2

• perigee
  -periphelion
  -jan 3rd= largest apparent diameter of the sun

Question 3

farthest

Answer 3

-apogee or aphelion
-july 3rd
- smallest apparent diameter of the sun

Question 4

eccentricity

Answer 4

a number wich shows the shape (not size) of an orbit

Question 5

Low eccetricity

Answer 5

-more circular
-smaller change in velocity + apparent diameter

Question 6

High eccentricty

Answer 6

• more elliptical
  -bigger change in orbital velocity + apparent diameter of sun

Question 7

gravity depends on any two factors

Answer 7

G= m1-m2/ d2

Question 7

gravity

Answer 7

the force of attraction between any two objects

Question 8

mass of each object=

Answer 8

more mass, stronger gravity
ex- double the mass–> gravity is 2x stronger

Question 9

Inverse square law

Answer 9

objects move 2x closer –> gravity is 4x stronger

Question 10

moving farther apart

Answer 10

become weaker

Question 11

Foucault’s pendulum

Answer 11

the direction of swing of a pendum will appear to change as earth rotates underneath it

Question 12

Coriolis effect

Answer 12

moving objects will bend their path as earth rotates underneath
northern hemisphere- to the right
southern hemisphere- to the left
