Newtons law of gravitation

  • equation that dictates the force experience by a mass due to another mass

New cards

Newtons law of gravitation equation

GMm/r² = F

  • F - gravitational force (N)

  • G - universal gravitational constant

  • M - mass of the object

  • m - mass of the second object

  • r - distance between masses

law of gravitation facts

  • applying a force causes acceleration, acceleration creates movement

  • movement: F=ma to a=F/m

  • equation for gravitational field strength - is the strength of gravitational fields

  • the force on two objects is the same in magnitude but opposite signs (Newton’s 3rd law: Equal and opposite)
