UCM- Uniform Circular Motion & UG - Universal Gravitation

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Centripetal forces are always ____ to the circle   perpendicular  
🗑
If the centripetal force disappears, an object will move...   in a straight line at a constant speed  
🗑
the force needed to cause rotation   centripetal  
🗑
Circular motion is accelerated because this is changing   direction  
🗑
Objects travelling in a circle are accelerating towards the   center  
🗑
Gravitational force depends on two   masses  
🗑
Gravitational force is inversely related to the square of the ___ between the two objects.   distance  
🗑
Graviational force and mass are ____ related   directly  
🗑
Gravity that occurs everywhere   universal  
🗑
Speed perpendicular to a circle   tangential velocity  
🗑
The speed of a UCM object moving in a circle is   constant  
🗑
This vector points in the same direction as the centripetal force   centripetal acceleration  
🗑
Always an attractive action reaction pair of forces   gravitational force  
🗑
If you increase the distance between two objects, the gravitational force between them will   decrease  
🗑
If you cut the distance between two objects in half, the gravitational force will   quadruple  
🗑
If you double one mass, the gravitational force it exerts on everything else will   double  
🗑
a change in this is acceleration   velocity  
🗑
three ways to accelerate   speed up, slow down, change direction  
🗑
the other name for gravitational force   weight  
🗑
Unit for weight and gravitational force   Newton  
🗑
The centripetal force when a car rounds a curve   friction  
🗑
The centripetal force when a waterskiier changes direction   tension  
🗑
tendency of an object to keep the same motion   inertia  
🗑
equation to calculate mass from weight   Fw = mg  
🗑
The time it takes to make one revolution (T)   period  
🗑
Universal gravitation constant, G   6.67 x 10^-11  
🗑
acceleration due to gravity on earth, g   -9.8 m/s^2  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
