This week we have review our two quizzes, we review everything we have learned about gravity to date, dig into Newton's universal law of gravity. Watch this video on Newton's law of universal gravitation first.
Does this more or less jive with what we have talked about so far? how comfortable are you feeling about the equation

So the last video is the Ball-physics of understanding gravity. You will be expected to understand that for the take home test you are going to have next weekend. We aren't going into Einstein's general relativity, but we can go into a little bit of horse-physics. simply because it is fun.
thoughts?

Which of the following is not in scientific notation? check all that apply.

1

Why do stars never exhibit retrograde motion?

1

explain how stellar parallax argued against heliocentrism

1

Copernicus' calculations using heliocentrism still didn't predict where planets would be in their orbits compared to the geocentric models. What did he still not know that would have made a difference?

1

according to Kepler's second law,

1

Which of the following is a relative measure and which of the following an absolute measure? Remember a relative measure depends on the frame of reference of the viewer, an absolute measure does not, and it is the same no matter where or how fast the viewer is moving.

Absolute
relative
position of an object
distance between two objects
angular distance
angular diameter
linear distance
linear diameter
velocity

The farther a planet is from the sun, the orbital speed is

1

The force of gravity between two objects relies on which of the following factors, check all that apply

1

define tidal braking

1

define synchronous orbit

1

Using Kepler's second law, explain why comets are slow far from the sun, and fast near the sun.

1

Using Kepler's third law, explain what would happen if something managed to slow down a planet's orbit

How do you depict a negative vector?

Review all the other formatives. You should be able to see all the answers to all the questions (that have correct answers). Is there anything you want to go over in class?
