Physics Vocab
Across
- 2. the minimum speed an object needs to overcome a celestial body's gravitational pull and never fall back, assuming no further propulsion
- 3. The reigon of space around a massive object where gravity exerts a force
- 4. The attractive force between any two objects
- 8. The motion of an object where gravity is the only force acting upon it
- 10. The net force directed towards the center of an circular path that keeps an object moving in a curve, constantly changing its direction but not necessarily its speed
- 11. Any force that pull two or more objects, particles, or bodies closer together
- 12. The measure of the amount of matter in an object or its resistance to acceleration (inertia)
- 14. The distance from a central point or origin
Down
- 1. Every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers
- 5. A physical quantity intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from its source
- 6. the curved path an object takes around another object due to their mutual gravitational attraction
- 7. A fundamental physical constant quantifying the strength of gravity, representing the force between two unit masses separated by a unit distance
- 9. the fundamental attractive force between any two objects with mass or energy
- 13. The measure of the force of gravity in an object
