FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is circular motion?

Back

Circular motion is the motion of an object that travels along a circular path. It can be uniform (constant speed) or non-uniform (changing speed).

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is centripetal force?

Back

Centripetal force is the net force that acts on an object moving in a circular path, directed towards the center of the circle.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the formula for centripetal acceleration?

Back

Centripetal acceleration (a_c) = v²/r, where v is the linear velocity and r is the radius of the circular path.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How does the gravitational force between two objects change with distance?

Back

The gravitational force decreases with the square of the distance between the two objects, as described by Newton's law of universal gravitation.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What happens to gravitational force if the distance between two objects is halved?

Back

If the distance is halved, the gravitational force increases by a factor of four.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the relationship between mass and gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the formula for gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force (F) = G * (m1 * m2) / r², where G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses, and r is the distance between their centers.
