What is the centre of mass?
the point where the mass is thought to be the most concentrated
1 of 13
The gravitational force is bigger when....
the mass is bigger.
2 of 13
What provides the centripetal force that keeps planets and satellites moving in their orbits?
gravity
3 of 13
The gravitational force is smaller when....
the distance is bigger.
4 of 13
The further away a planets orbit...
the slower it travels
5 of 13
How long is the orbit of a geostationary object?
24 hours
6 of 13
What is the moment of a force?
the turning effect of a force
7 of 13
Moment is measured in Newton metres (Nm)?
True
8 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
9 of 13
The bigger the base of an object....
the more stable the object
10 of 13
When an object is moving in a circle at a constant speed...
it is accelerating continuously and a centripetel force is present
11 of 13
As the mass or speed of the object moving in a circle at a constant speed increases.....
the centripetel force increases
12 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
