Match the terms below with the appropriate description or definition Natural motion Inertia Inverse square law Angular momentum Special theory of relativity Mass Escape velocity A measure of an object's mass along with its speed of rotation Follows an elliptical path The velocity required to break free of an astronomical body States that the force of gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two masses Occurs without force The amount of matter in a body The resistance of matter to changes in motion Angular momentum Special theory of relativity Mass Escape velocity General theory of relativity Momentum Closed orbit States that the force of gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two masses Occurs without force The amount of matter in a body The resistance of matter to changes in motion A measure of an object's amount of motion States that a gravitational field is a curvature of space-time c

Explanation / Answer

Inverse square law : states that the force of gravity is inversely propotional to the square of the distance between two masses

Mass :Measure of the amount of matter in an object

Momentum :a measure of an object's amount of motion

General theory of relativity : states that a gravitational field is a curvature of space-time caused by presence of mass
