Gravity, Celestial Objects, and Kinetic Energy

Front

What happens to the kinetic energy of particles in a solid as it is cooled?

Back

The kinetic energy decreases.

Front

What are large rocky and/or metallic masses orbiting the Sun, made up of materials similar to those that formed the planets?

Back

Asteroids.

Front

When measuring temperature, what are you measuring?

Back

The average motion of the atoms.

Front

Where is the Asteroid belt located in our solar system?

Back

Between Mars and Jupiter.

Front

What happens to gravitational force as mass increases?

Back

Gravitational force increases.

Front

What is gravity?

Back

A force that attracts two bodies toward each other.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy an object has due to its motion.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of the objects.

Front

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

Back

KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What is an asteroid?

Back

A small rocky body orbiting the Sun, primarily found in the asteroid belt.
