---|---|---|---|
Rotation
What is the spin of a body on it's axis?
|
The orbit of a planet is an elliptical
What did Kepler's first law say?
|
A push or a pull
What is force?
|
Venus
What planet has the longest day?
|
Tilt
What is causes there to be seasons?
|
When it is closer to the sun
Where is more distance in an orbit covered?
|
GRAVITY
What is a force that is always present on earth?
|
8 years
How long did it take Kepler to discover his first 2 laws?
|
One Revolution
How do we determine when one year goes by?
|
When it is farthest from the sun
When does a planet move the slowest?
|
Inertia
Why doesn't the moon crash into the earth?
|
p^2 = a^3
What was the equation that Kepler came up with in his third law?
|
Orbit
What is the path that one body follows along another body?
|
The farther the planet is from the sun, the longer it will take to make one revolution.
How is a planet’s distance from the sun related to the amount of time that it takes for planet to make one revolution around the sun?
|
Mass increased = Force increased
Distance increased = Force decreased
What would happen to the force if the mass of two objects increased? What would happen to the force if the distance between two objects increased?
|
F = Gm1m2
d^2
What is the Universal Law of Gravitation Equation?
|
