Planetary Motion and Gravitation; Projectile Motion
Across
- 1. series of images showing the positions of a moving object at regular time intervals
- 4. force of attraction between 2 objects, proportional to the masses
- 5. path through space
- 7. the change in position divided by the time during which the change occured, the slope of an object's position-time graph
- 9. yet another Kepler law, square of the ratio of the periods of any two planets
- 11. a vector that results from the sum of two other vectors
- 13. type of circular motion, movement of an object at a constant speed around a circle with a fixed radius
- 15. all forces come in pairs, 2 forces in a pair act on different objects
- 16. one of Kepler's laws, paths of planets ellipses, Sun at one focus
- 17. objects attract other objects with a force that is proportional
Down
- 2. quantity that measures an objects response to gravitational force
- 3. object shot through the air
- 6. object moves in a circle, net force toward center of circle
- 8. center seeking acceleration of an object
- 10. another Kepler law, imaginary line from Sun to a planet
- 12. fictitious, nonexistent force
- 14. measure of the object's resistance to any type of force
