Study Notes
Universal Law of Gravitation
- The universal law of gravitation states that every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force that is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.
- The force of attraction between two masses,
m1
andm2
, at a distance ofd
is given by the formula:F = G * (m1 * m2) / d^2
-
G
is the universal gravitational constant, which has a value of6.674 x 10^-11 N m^2/kg^2
. - This means that the force of attraction between two objects increases with the increase in their masses and decreases with the increase in the distance between them.
- Newton used the law of gravitation to explain the motion of planets, moons, and other celestial bodies.
