10 Questions
According to Newton's law of gravitation, the magnitude of gravitational force of attraction between two bodies is proportional to?
The product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them
In the equation for Newton's law of gravitation, what does 'f' represent?
Gravitational force
What is the mathematical relationship between the magnitude of gravitational force and the distance between two bodies according to Newton's law of gravitation?
Inverse square relationship
If the distance between two bodies is doubled, how does the gravitational force between them change?
It decreases to one-fourth of the original force
If the mass of one of the bodies is doubled, how does the gravitational force between them change?
It doubles
What is the statement of Newton's law of gravitation?
The magnitude of gravitational force attraction between two bodies or masses is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
What is the mathematical expression for Newton's law of gravitation?
The mathematical expression for Newton's law of gravitation is given by the equation $F = G\frac{{m_1m_2}}{{r^2}}$, where $F$ is the magnitude of the gravitational force, $G$ is the gravitational constant, $m_1$ and $m_2$ are the masses of the two bodies, and $r$ is the distance between the centers of the two bodies.
What does the statement 'f is directly proportional to what is the product of t' refer to?
The statement 'f is directly proportional to what is the product of t' refers to the fact that the magnitude of gravitational force ($F$) is directly proportional to the product of the masses ($m_1$ and $m_2$) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance ($r$) between the two bodies.
What is the significance of the gravitational constant 'G' in Newton's law of gravitation?
The gravitational constant 'G' in Newton's law of gravitation represents the proportionality constant that relates the magnitude of the gravitational force to the product of the masses and the square of the distance between the two bodies.
What does the distance 'r' represent in the context of Newton's law of gravitation?
The distance 'r' represents the distance between the centers of the two bodies for which the gravitational force is being calculated.
