Solution

  1. Newton postulated only a single gravitational law.
  2. The first law of gravity states that any two objects attract each other with a force (F) equal to a constant (gravitational constant G) multiplied by the product of the masses of two objects (m1,m2) and divided by the square of the distance (r) between them.
  3. It can be written as: F=Gm1m2r2
  4. Jumping on a trampoline is an example of Newton's first law.
