1. Answer the following about gravity and acceleration.
a) There are 2 aspects of acceleration. The first one is when an
object is moving in a straight line and changing (starts with "s")
and the second one is when an object is moving at a constant speed
and changing (starts with "d"). What are the 2 aspects?
b) Is it true that the net force on an object and its acceleration are proportional to each other? What about the vectors representing the net force on an object and its acceleration will look similar (as in same direction but different lengths)?
c) When a curve is "sharp" we say it has a small "radius pf curvature" and a "gentle" curve has a large "radius of curvature." When you are in a car going around a curve, what two aspects of the car's motion affect the sideways force and acceleration you experience in the car?
d) The formula for Newton's Law of Gravitation is F=G((Mm)/r^2), what direction is the force on "m"? What about on "M"?
