A regular, repeating path that an object in space takes around another one.
What is an ORBIT
100
This planet in our solar system has the strongest gravitational pull
What is JUPITER
100
The first day you met your teachers in august, you met your teachers here.
What is THE GYM
200
A force of attraction between two objects
What is GRAVITY
200
An object in motion will stay in motion at a constant speed unless another force changes or stops it. An object at rest will remain at rest unless another force changes it.
What is INERTIA
200
This is Earth's natural satellite.
What is the MOON
200
This object in our solar system gives out the most energy, the energy needed for life to occur on Earth.
What is THE SUN
200
This man is atop City Hall in Philadelphia. He also has a bridge named after him.
Who is BEN FRANKLIN
300
Two factors that affect the strength of gravity.
What is MASS AND DISTANCE
300
The two factors that cause an orbit.
What is GRAVITY AND INERTIA
300
These two factors must be balanced for an orbit to occur.
What is GRAVITY AND INERTIA
300
This destroyed the atmosphere on Mars when the planet's magnetosphere went away.
What is A SOLAR WIND
300
This is how long Ms. Gauthier has been teaching.
What is 10 YEARS
400
Identify one piece of evidence that supports gravity is in space?
The effect of gravity extends from each object out into space in all directions, for an infinite distance
All objects with a mass have gravity
Gravity is the most important force affecting movement in space
Orbits occur because of the gravitational pull of large objects in space
The sun's gravity keeps everything in our solar system in orbit
400
This happens when the strength of gravity of a planet is stronger than the inertia of the object.
What is CRASH
400
If you know the mass of an object, how fast its moving, the direction it's going, and what it is going near in space, you can identify this.
What is THE OBJECTS PATH IN SPACE
400
This is when Earth was created.
What is 4.5 billion years ago.
400
This is the HIGH SCHOOL assistant principal.
Who is MR. DOBBINS.
500
Scientists think this is what gravity is made up of, however, it is not proven.
What is GRAVITONS or PARTICLES
500
The moon is moving farther and farther away from the Earth each year (little by little). Eventually this will happen...
It will fly off into space in a straight line.
500
An object has inertia, moving it in a straight line. The gravity of another object catches it and tries to pull it in. If the inertia is equal to the force of gravity pulling the object in and there is a constant tug-of-war, a perfect balance.
What is an ORBIT
500
The creation of space began with this.
What is BIG BANG
500
This person took on the responsibility to make and change the quotes you see when you come into the annex everyday.
