What Is Gravitational Force?
Gravitational force is the attraction between two masses. It is defined by Newton's universal law of gravitation; it is directly proportional to the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance.
How is it calculated?
How Is It Calculated?
F = G × m₁ × m₂ ÷ r²
G = 6,674×10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg².
- Enter the two masses and the distance between them.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to the force when the distance doubles?
Because it is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, the force drops to one quarter.
