6 Questions
What is Newton's law of gravitation?
Every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
What is the significance of the universal gravitational constant (G) in Newton's law of gravitation?
G is the constant of proportionality in the equation F=Gm₁m₂/r² and its value is 6.67 × 10^-11 Nm² kg^-².
How does the force of attraction between two particles change with the distance between them?
The force of attraction is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two particles.
What is the mathematical expression for the force of attraction between two particles according to Newton's law of gravitation?
F=Gm¹m²/r²
What is the unit of the universal gravitational constant (G)?
Nm² kg^-2
What is the value of the universal gravitational constant (G) in the SI unit?
6.67 × 10^-11 Nm² kg^-2
