Question

What is Newton's law of universal gravitation in simple terms?

Answer 1

Newton's law of universal gravitation:

1. Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation states that every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of their distance.
2. Universal Gravitation Equation can be written as $\mathrm{F}=\frac{{\mathrm{Gm}}_1{\mathrm{m}}_2}{{\mathrm{r}}^2}$. Here, $\mathrm{F}$ is the gravitational force between the bodies, and ${\mathrm{m}}_1$ and ${\mathrm{m}}_2$ are their masses, $r$ is the distance between two bodies' centers, and the universal gravitational constant is denoted by $G$.
