Newton developed this law which?

Says that all objects in the universe attract each other with an equal force that varies directly as a product of their masses, and inversely as a square of their distance from each other.

2

What is this force known as?

Gravity

3
New cards

What is the mathematical equation that Newton’s law of universal gravitation relies on is expressed as?

F= G(m^1 m²) / R²

4
New cards

F= G(m^1 m²) / R²

What does G represent?

Gravitational constant

5

What do the sun and earth have?

A gravitational relationship.

If the earth or sun’s mass was doubled:

The force on earth would double

9

The force the sun exerts on earth is:

Equal and opposite the force the earth exerts on the sun, which brings in newtons third law
