gravitational force
All objects in the universe attract each other
gravitational potential energy
the potential an object has to do work as a result of being located at a
particular position in a gravitational field
what is the difference between mass and weight?
mass is the amount of matter an object has, while weight is the amount of
force exerted on the object's mass by gravity
the basic unit of force is the and it represents
newton (N); the force required to accelerate one kg by one meter per second
per second: kg . m/s2
Newton's 1st Law of Motion
An object at rest tends to stay at rest, and an object in motion tends to stay in
motion at constant velocity unless acted on by an unbalanced force
Formula for acceleration
a = change v / change t; acceleration equals change in velocity
divided by change in time
Basic unit of work is and it represents
joule (J); Newtons times meters; kg . m2/s2
Newton's law of universal gravitation formula
Fg - Gm1m2 / r2;
Force of gravity, G is a constant equal to 6.67 x 10^-11, and r is the distance
between the two objects
energy
the capacity to do work

AM
Power is defined as and measured in
the rate at which work is performed; watts (sometimes horsepower)
net force
refers to the total of various pushes and pulls acting on an object
inertia
the tendency of objects to resist changes in their motion
acceleration due to gravity is approximately meters per second per second, not
counting air resistance
9.8
formula for work
w = fd
work = force x displacement
formula for momentum
p=mv
momentum (p) = mass x velocity
forumula for momentum rewritten to solve for mass
m = p/v
formula for power
p = w/t
power = work divided by time
kinetic energy
energy possessed by a moving object
Newton's 3rd law of motion
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
