Chapter 7 Review Mr. Hauser

Rules of the Game Working in TEAMS, you will be asked to answer questions from the assigned chapters. You have 30 seconds to write the answer down on the dry erase board. When the teacher says TIME’S UP, a team leader will stand up and show the teacher their answer.

Rules (Continued) Each correct answer is worth one point, unless otherwise stated. Teams can lose points for inappropriate conduct, comments, or cheating. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins!

Satellite

Question 2 What is the name of the actual shape the orbiting planets follow around the sun?

Ellipse

Question 3 If an object is undergoing circular motion it is constantly changing its _________. This means it is constantly changing its ___________. This means it must be constantly ____________.

Question 4 What is the name of the force that causes circular motion? And, where on the path does it always point?

Centripetal force, to the center of the circle

Question 5 When the Earth is closer to the sun in its elliptical orbit, it’s moving… A)Faster B)Slower C) The same speed it always does
