Wikipedia

  1. gravitational force

    Newton's law of universal gravitation is usually stated as that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force that is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. The publication of the law has become known as the "first great unification", as it marked the unification of the previously described phenomena of gravity on Earth with known astronomical behaviors.This is a general physical law derived from empirical observations by what Isaac Newton called inductive reasoning. It is a part of classical mechanics and was formulated in Newton's work Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica ("the Principia"), first published on 5 July 1687. When Newton presented Book 1 of the unpublished text in April 1686 to the Royal Society, Robert Hooke made a claim that Newton had obtained the inverse square law from him.

  1. gravitational force

    Gravitational force is a natural force that occurs between any two objects with mass. It's the force of attraction that pulls bodies or objects toward each other due to their mass. The larger the mass, the greater the gravitational force. This force functions across infinite distances, keeping celestial bodies such as planets, stars, and galaxies in their orbits. It is described mathematically by Newton's law of universal gravitation.
