Across
- 3. a coherent, typically large body of matter with no definite shape.
- 7. The force of gravity, or gravitational force, pulls objects with mass toward each other.
- 10. Newton's law of universal gravitation states that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force that is proportional to the product
- 12. downward movement under the force of gravity only.
- 14. any natural force in the Universe that draws one mass towards another
- 15. an amount of space between two things or people
Down
- 1. The gravitational constant is an empirical physical constant involved in the calculation of gravitational effects in Sir Isaac Newton's law of universal
- 2. pulls objects with mass toward each other
- 4. a force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed toward the center around which the body is moving
- 5. the lowest velocity which a body must have in order to escape the gravitational attraction of a particular planet or other object.
- 6. the force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth, or toward any other physical body having mass.
- 8. point representing the mean position of the matter in a body or system
- 9. a law stating that the intensity of an effect such as illumination or gravitational force changes in inverse proportion to the square of the distance from the source.
- 11. a body's relative mass or the quantity of matter contained by it, giving rise to a downward force; the heaviness of a person or thing.
- 13. the curved path of a celestial object or spacecraft around a star, planet, or moon, especially a periodic elliptical revolution.
