Universal Law of Gravitation
Universal Law of Gravitation
Every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force. Its strength depends on their masses and distance.
Double the Distance, Gravity Reduces
Double the Distance, Gravity Reduces
The force of gravity between two objects becomes one-fourth of the original force.
What is the Universal Law of Gravitation?
What is the Universal Law of Gravitation?
The force of gravity is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.
