Centripetal Motion
A constant vector for an object in uniform circular motion other than the centripetal force or centripetal acceleration.
Tangential velocity or speed (velocity NOT accepted as it is changing direction)
The equation for gravitational acceleration on the surface of a planet.
g = GM/R2
The quantity representing a force applied at a distance from an axis of rotation that causes a change in the rotation of an object.
Torque
Conservation of Angular Momentum
The poster that Dr. Culbreth received by accident.
The Cthulhu poster
The equation for centripetal acceleration.
v2/r or omega2r
The minimum velocity needed to counteract the gravity of a celestial body.
The rate at which an object slows its rotation.
Angular acceleration or angular deceleration
An object rolling down an incline moves faster than another object because this quantity is lesser for the first object.
Moment of Inertia or Rotational Kinetic Energy
The Enloe teacher that Dr. Culbreth has the most "pretend" beef with.
Dr. Lyerly
The centripetal force is always in this direction.
Toward the center of the circle or the inward radial direction.
The gravitational force of planet B on planet A if planet A gravitationally attracts planet B with a force of 100N directed to the left.
100N to the right
The mathematical formula used to calculate the moment of inertia of a rigid body.
I = Integral (r2 dm)
The term for an object who's tangential rotational velocity and linear translational velocity are the same.
Rolling without slipping
The subject of Dr. Culbreth's PhD.
Biomedical Physics
The centripetal force is this kind of force.
Net Force
The mathematical representation of Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation.
Fg = GMm/r2
I = Icom + Md2
The parallel axis theorem
The integral form of the work done on a rotating object.
W = integral (tau d(theta))
The type of cancer Dr. Culbreth's wife had.
Breast Cancer (triple negative ductal carcinoma)
When a car is turning on a flat road, this force is equal to the centripetal force.
Friction (Specifically static friction)
The period of an orbit squared is proportional to the semi-major axis of that orbit cubed.
Kepler's 3rd Law
The two conditions for static equilibrium.
Sum of forces = 0 and sum of torques = 0
The ratio of the fastest to slowest speeds of an object in an elliptical orbit which moves around a star from radius r at its closest point to radius 4r at its farthest point.
