Front

What is the Law of Universal Gravitation?

Back

It states that every object in the universe attracts every other object 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.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the formula for gravitational force?

Back

The formula is F=Gm1m2r2F = G \frac{{m_1 m_2}}{{r^2}} , where F is the gravitational force, G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses, and r is the distance between the centers of the two masses.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does the gravitational constant (G) represent?

Back

It is a proportionality constant used in the equation of gravitational force, approximately equal to 6.674×10−11 N(m/kg)26.674 \times 10^{-11} \text{ N(m/kg)}^2 .
