Fall EOCE Review

Front

What does it mean for objects to have a net force of zero?

Back

Objects are said to be in equilibrium.

Front

What happens to gravity as the radius from the center of a mass increases?

Back

Gravity decreases.

Front

Why do objects remain in the Asteroid and Kuiper Belt?

Back

Because the forces are balanced.

Front

If the mass of an object is 1000kg on Earth, what is its mass on the moon?

Back

1000kg.

Front

Which graph shows the relationship between mass and kinetic energy (KE)?

Back

Graph A.

Front

Define equilibrium in physics.

Back

Equilibrium occurs when all forces acting on an object are balanced, resulting in no net force.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force increases with mass.

Front

Explain the concept of kinetic energy.

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion, calculated as KE = 1/2 mv².

Front

What is the formula for calculating gravitational force?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of the gravitational constant (G)?

Back

G is a proportionality constant used in the calculation of gravitational force between two masses.
