5 Questions
What is Newton's law of universal gravitation?
Every particle attracts every other particle with a force proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the distance between them.
What is the equation for universal gravitation?
F = G m1 m2 / r^2
What is the Cavendish experiment?
The first test of Newton's law of gravitation between masses in the laboratory.
What is the difference between Coulomb's law and Newton's law of gravitation?
Coulomb's law has the product of two charges in place of the product of the masses, and the Coulomb constant in place of the gravitational constant.
When is Einstein's theory of general relativity required?
When dealing with very strong gravitational fields.
