MASS AND DISTANCES EFFECT ON GRAVITY |
|
Definition
THE FORCE OF GRAVITY INCREASES WITH GREATER MASS AND DECREASES WITH GREATER DISTANCE. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
GRAVITATIONAL FORCE EXERTED ON A PERSON OR OBJECT AT THE SURFACE OF PLANETS. |

Definition
WEIGHT = MASS X ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
INSTANCE WHEN THE ONLY FORCE ACTING ON AN OBJECT IS GRAVITY. THE OBJECT IS SAID TO BE IN A FREE FALL. IT IS ACCELERATING. THE FORCE OF GRAVITY ALONE CAUSES OBJECT TO INTO A DOWNWARD DIRECTION. |

NEWTON'S FIRST LAW OF MOTION |
|
Definition
AN OBJECT WILL REMAIN AT REST OR IN MOTION AT A CONSTANT VELOCITY UNLESS ITS IS ACTED UPON BY AN UNBALANCED FORCE. AN UNBALANCED FORCE WILL CAUSE AN OBJECT TO SPEED UP, SLOW DOWN, OR CHANGE DIRECTION. |

NEWTON'S SECOND LAW OF MOTION |
|
Definition
IF ONE OBJECT EXERTS FORCE ON ANOTHER OBJECT, THEN THE SECOND OBJECT EXERTS FORCE OF EQUAL STRENGTH IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION ON THE FIRST OBJECT. |
|
|
Term
NEWTON'S THIRD LAW OF MOTION |
|
Definition
ONE OBJECT EXERTS FORCE ON ANOTHER OBJECT, THE THE SECOND OBJECT EXERTS FORCE OF EQUAL STRENGTH IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF THE FIRST. FOR EVERY ACTION THERE IS AN EQUAL BUT OPPOSITE REACTION. |
