Which of the four fundamental forces in physics – strong nuclear, electroweak, electrostatic, or gravitational – is the least understood?
The Law of Universal Gravitation was the result of the work of
According to the Law of Universal Gravitation, the force of gravity between two objects is directly proportional to
According to the Law of Universal Gravitation, the force of gravity between two objects is inversely proportional to
What did Henry Cavendish do that allowed him to measure the mass of Earth?
Newton's most important contribution to our understanding of gravity was that objects fall toward Earth when dropped.
A satellite in space is exactly halfway between Earth and the moon. Earth’s mass is calculated to be 5.98 x 1024 kg, while the moon’s mass is 7.35 x 1022 kg. Is the force of gravity stronger between Earth and the satellite or the moon and the satellite?
Using Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, a scientist could predict which of the following?
