| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Gravitational Force | The force by which any two objects that have mass are attracted to one-another |
| Electromagnetic Force | The force that exists between particles with an electric charge |
| Weak Force | The force that governs certain radioactive processes in atoms |
| Electroweak Force | A combination of Electromagnetic and Weak force |
| Strong Nuclear Force | The force that holds the center of atoms together |
| Nucleas | The center of an atom |
| Centripetal Force | Force that is always directed perpendicular to the velocity of any object |
| Centripetal Acceleration | When an object changes direction |
| Circular Motion requires: | Centripetal Force |
| The Larger the Centripetal Force, the faster an object can travel in a circle | (blank) |
| The larger the centripetal force, the smaller the circle of the motion | (blank) |
| The Inner Planets | Mercury Venus Earth and Mars |
| The Outer Planets | Jupiter Saturn Uranus and Neptune |
| Satellite | When an object orbits another object |
| Galilean Satellite | The four satellites that Galileo found orbiting Jupiter |
| Planetary Rings | Hundreds of thousands of rings surrounding Saturn Uranus Jupiter and Neptune |
| Universal Law of Gravity | An equation/law that helps physicists to calculate the strength of the gravitational force between to objects |
| All objects are attracted to one another by gravitational force | (blank) |
| The gravitational Force between two masses is directly proportional to the mass of each object | (blank) |
| The gravitational force between to masses in inversly proportional to the square of the distance between two objects | (blank) |
| Purturbations | Gravitational forces working together to produce a certain effect |
| Meteoroids | Asteroids that intersect the earth's orbit |
| Meteors | Meteoroids that experience friction in the atmosphere, causing them to heat |
| Meteorites | Pieces of a meteor that hit the earth |
| Comets | Large objects in space made of dust grains chunks of dirt and ice |
| Sublimed | When an object turns from a solid to a gas without passing through the liquid stage |
| Nucleus | The solid part of a comet |
| Coma | The fuzzy atmosphere around a comet |
| Tail | The gas from a coma |
| Solar Wind | Gases being pushed away from the sun |
| Short Period Comets | Comets that take 3 to 9 years to make orbit |
| Long Period Comets | Comets that take 9 to 5000 years to make orbit |
| Very Long Period Comets | Comets that take 5000+ years to make orbit |
| Oort Cloud | A body of ice and debri beyond the solar system |
| Kuiper belt | A body of comet material just beyond Neptune |
| General Theory of Relativity | A broad theory that attempted tp explain an entire way of looking at physics |
| Gravitons | Tiny particles that may be exchanged between objects |
| Geocentric | The belief that the earth is the center of the solar system |
| Heliocentric | The belief that the sun is the center of the solar system |
| Distance change | (Bigger distance/ smaller distance) squared NOTE: Answer should be stated as "The gravitational attraction increases by _____" OR "The gravitational attraction decreses by _____" |
| Mass change | Final mass1 / initial mass1 X fiinal mass 2 / initial mass 2. |
| Distance and mass change | Distance change X mass change = overall change |
| The fundamental forces of creation | Electromagnetic, Gravitational, weak and strong nuclear force. |
