Force:
* SI unit: Newton (N)
* Definition: 1 Newton is the force required to accelerate a 1 kilogram mass at a rate of 1 meter per second squared (m/s²).
* Formula: Force (F) = Mass (m) x Acceleration (a)
Gravitation:
* SI unit: There's no specific SI unit for gravitation itself. Gravitation is a fundamental force, and its strength is represented by the gravitational constant (G).
* Gravitational Constant (G):
* Value: 6.674 x 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²
* Represents the strength of the gravitational force between two objects.
Key Points:
* Force is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.
* Gravitation is a fundamental force of attraction between objects with mass.
* The gravitational constant (G) is used in the formula for calculating gravitational force:
F = (G * m₁ * m₂) / r²
* Where:
* F is the force of gravity
* G is the gravitational constant
* m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the objects
* r is the distance between the centers of the objects
