Study Guide (Review) ASTRO 007. CHARLTON
Document Content and Description Below
A. Gravity 1. Newton’s Laws of Motion a. First Law: An object at rest, or in motion in a straight line at a constant speed, will remain in that state unless acted upon by a force i. Aka. inertia... 2. Second Law: The acceleration of a body due to a force will be in the same direction as the force, with a magnitude inversely proportional to its mass. a. OR the magnitude of force necessary to produce a certain acceleration on a body will be directly proportional to its mass b. A higher mass requires a greater force c. F = ma or force = mass x acceleration i. Example: if you apply the same amount of force to a soccer ball and a car the ball will move faster 3. Third Law: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. a. Example: The sun’s force of gravity keeps the planets in orbit around it b. The planets exert and equally strong pull on the sun (causes it to move slightly) 4. Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation CONTINUES.... [Show More]
