Questions and Answers

What is the equation for Newton's universal law of gravitation?

F = G * m1 * m2 * r^2

F = G * m1 * m2 / r^2 (correct)

F = G / m1 * m2 * r^2

F = G * (m1 + m2) / r^2

What does Newton's universal law of gravitation state?

Every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force proportional to their masses

Every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force proportional to the square of their masses

Every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force proportional to their distance

Every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them (correct)

Which factor is inversely proportional to the gravitational force between two objects according to Newton's universal law of gravitation?

Mass of object 2, m2

Distance between their centers, r (correct)

Study Notes

2022-02-20 Stated in modern language, Newton's universal law of gravitation states that every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The equation for Newton's universal law of gravitation is given by:

F = G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where F is the gravitational force between the two objects, m_1 and m_2 are the masses of the objects, r is the distance between their centers, and G is the gravitational constant, which is a universal constant with a
