  • Understanding Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation
    The gravitational force that acts on two objects is called Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Universal: This means that the force of gravity acts between any two objects with mass, no matter how small or large they are.

    * Force: It's a force that attracts objects towards each other.

    * Directly proportional to the product of their masses: The more massive the objects, the stronger the gravitational force between them.

    * Inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers: The farther apart the objects are, the weaker the gravitational force between them.

    This law can be expressed mathematically as:

    F = G * (m1 * m2) / r²

    Where:

    * F is the force of gravity

    * G is the gravitational constant (approximately 6.674 × 10⁻¹¹ N⋅m²/kg²)

    * m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects

    * r is the distance between the centers of the two objects
