Dynamics
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
What is Newton's third law?
Rate of moving
What is speed?
Defined by two points each called focus (foci)
What is ellipses?
period of time to complete one rotation
What is Period?
An object's specific point
What is a Reference Point?
Constant velocity unless acted upon
What is Newton's first law?
Rate of moving and direction
What is velocity?
Amount of flattening
What is eccentricity?
Period of oscillation is determined w/ spring constant and mass of moving object
What is Horizontal Block Oscillators?
U=1/2mv^2
What is the equation for kinetic energy?
The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force applied
What is Newton's second law?
Mass x Centripetal Acceleration
What is centripetal force?
Every orbit is an ellipse
What is Kepler's First Law?
Objects in perpetual motion with a constant rate of change
What is Simple Harmonic Motion?
a quantity that has direction and magnitude
What is vectors?
The sum of all vectors together
What is Net Force?
both magnitude and direction (velocity)
What is vector quantity?
Square of orbital periods of planets are directly proportional to the cubes of the semi-major axis
What is Kepler's Third Law?
Occurs when energy is lost to friction, etc.
What is Damping?
the ratio of the change in position and the time interval during which this change accured
What is average velocity?
When an object falls at a constant velocity
What is Terminal Velocity?
The motion of an object in a circular path at a constant speed
What is Uniform Circular Motion?
Imaginary line joining a planet and the sun sways equal areas of space during equal times
What is Kepler's Second Law?
Function similar to SHM springs, but us gravity for their restoring force
What is Ideal Pendulums?
Describes how far an object is from it's starting point
What is displacement?
