10 Questions
What are the possible effects of an applied force, based on the text?
Change the state of rest
Which statement accurately defines acceleration due to gravity?
The gravitational force due to Earth that causes an object to accelerate
What is the acceleration due to gravity at the center of the Earth?

How does Kepler's second law relate to the motion of planets around the Sun?
It indicates that planets sweep equal areas in equal times around the Sun.
What does Kepler's third law suggest about the relationship between a planet's time period and its distance from the Sun?
The time period is directly proportional to the distance cubed.
What is the formula for calculating gravitational acceleration?
$F = \frac{GMm}{R^2}$
What does Newton's inverse square law of gravity describe?
The force between two masses decreases as the inverse square of their distance apart.
In which scenario does escape velocity play a critical role?
When launching rockets into space
What aspect of a moving object does gravitational acceleration primarily affect?
Speed of the moving object
Which factor influences a planet's speed in its orbit around a star?
