Gravitation and Coulomb's Law Basics

Front

Newton's Law of Gravitation definition

Back

mass attracts every other mass with a force proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Front

Coulomb's Law definition

Back

force between two point charges is proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
