the point where the mass is thought to be the most concentrated
1 of 13
When an object is moving in a circle at a constant speed if the radius of the circle is decreased.......
the centripetel force decreases
2 of 13
The gravitational force is bigger when....
the mass is bigger.
3 of 13
The gravitational force is smaller when....
the distance is bigger.
4 of 13
The further away a planet in orbit is...
the less speed it needs
5 of 13
What provides the centripetal force that keeps planets and satellites moving in their orbits?
gravity
6 of 13
How long does a geostationary orbit last for?
12mounth
7 of 13
What is the moment of a force?
the turning effect of a force
8 of 13
Moment is measured in Newton metres (Nm)?
True
9 of 13
If the object is at equilibrium....The sum of all the clockwise moments about any point=
the sum of all the anticlockwise moments about that point
10 of 13
The bigger the base of an object....
the more stable the object
11 of 13
When an object is moving in a circle at a constant speed...
it is accelerating continuously and a centripetel force is present
12 of 13
