What is newton gravitational force

Physics

ScanSolve AI Answer

Newton's Law of Universal 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 their centers.

The formula for the gravitational force (FF) between two objects is:

F=Gm1m2r2F = G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

Where:

  • FF is the gravitational force.
  • GG is the gravitational constant, approximately 6.674×10−11 N⋅m2/kg26.674 \times 10^{-11} \text{ N} \cdot \text{m}^2/\text{kg}^2.
  • m1m_1 and m2m_2 are the masses of the two objects.
  • rr is the distance between the centers of the two objects.
