Gravity word list, defined
- GRAVITY /ˈɡrævəti/ · noun
- Gravity is the force that attracts bodies with mass toward one another; on Earth, it produces the familiar downward acceleration of falling objects. By extension, it refers to seriousness, importance, dignity, or solemn weight. Related: gravitation, seriousness, importance, weight.
- MASS /mæs/ · noun, verb, adjective
- A mass is a large amount, collection, or body of something. In physics, mass is the quantity of matter in an object; the word can also refer to a large gathering or a religious service. Related: amount, quantity, body, bulk.
- WEIGHT /weɪt/ · noun, verb
- Weight is the amount of heaviness an object or person has, especially as measured by mass or gravitational force. It can also mean importance, influence, or the act of assigning importance to something, as well as the process of measuring heaviness or applying pressure. Related: heaviness, burden, importance, influence.
- FORCE /fɔːrs/ · noun
- Physical strength, energy, or power exerted on an object or person; also, coercion or compulsion, or an organized body such as a police or military force. Related: power, strength, might, energy.
- ATTRACTION /əˈtrækʃən/ · noun
- The action or power of drawing someone or something toward oneself or toward each other; also a quality or feature that draws interest, visitors, or attention. Related: appeal, allure, draw, magnetism.
- ORBIT /ˈɔːbɪt/ · noun; verb
- As a noun, an orbit is the curved path of an object moving around a star, planet, or other body, as well as a sphere of influence or activity. As a verb, to orbit means to move in a curved path around something, or to remain close to or within a particular sphere of influence. Related: path, trajectory, course, sphere.
- FALL /fɔːl/ · verb, noun
- As a verb, to move downward from a higher to a lower level, typically rapidly and without control; as a noun, an act of falling, a defeat or loss of power, or (in American usage) the season of autumn. Related: drop, descend, plunge, tumble.
- ACCELERATION /əkˌsɛləˈreɪʃən/ · noun
- The rate at which an object's velocity changes with time, or more generally, the process of increasing in speed or happening more quickly. Related: speedup, hastening, quicken, thrust.
- NEWTON /ˈnuːtən/ · noun
- A unit of force equal to the force needed to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at one metre per second squared. It is named after the English physicist and mathematician Isaac Newton and is abbreviated N.
- SATELLITE /ˈsætəlaɪt/ · noun, adjective, verb
- An object, natural or artificial, that moves in orbit around a planet or other celestial body; also, a state or organization subordinate to a more powerful one. Related: orbiter, spacecraft, moon, client state.
- MOMENTUM /məˈmɛntəm/ · noun
- The quantity of motion in a body, determined by its mass and velocity. In general use, momentum means the force or impetus that keeps something moving or developing. Related: impetus, drive, momentum, progress.
- INERTIA /ɪˈnɜːrʃə/ (British); /ɪˈnɝːʃə/ (American) · noun
- The property of matter by which it remains at rest or continues moving unless acted upon; by extension, a tendency to remain inactive or resist change. Related: resistance to change, laziness, indolence, apathy.
