4. | The large gravitational force ______ which surrounds massive objects. |
5. | The _____ ___ _____ is the is the point located at an object's average position of weight. This would be at the geometric center of the object if it is made of the same material. |
8. | The product of a force and the lever arm applied. |
9. | A person in orbit around the earth would be continually falling around the earth and hence would experience a sensation of __________. He appears to weigh nothing, though his mass has not changed. |
11. | If the plumb line hanging from the center of gravity is not over the base of the object, it will ______. |
13. | The ______ ___ ______ is another term for the rotational inertia of an object. |
17. | The 3rd object from the sun which is falling around the sun. |
18. | ______ equilibrium is an equilibrium of an object balanced such that its equilibrium is neither lowered or raised by displacement. |
22. | When planets deviate from their normal, expected orbits. |
24. | If a force is applied at the center of gravity of an object, _____ torque is created. |
25. | ______ arm. The distance from the turning axis to the point of the applied force. |
27. | To go around an internal axis. |
28. | ______ momentum is the inertia of rotation of rotating objects. |
30. | ______ equilibrium is an equilibrium of an object balanced such that it can easily lose its equilibrium, because it is easy to lower its center of gravity. |
