Gravitation Class 10 SSC || Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion, Newton's Law of Gravitation

Parth Momaya2 minutes read

Sir Isaac Newton's discovery of gravity through an apple falling led to the explanation of the attractive force between Earth and objects like apples, differentiating between gravity and gravitational force. Newton's Law of Gravitation formula states that the force is proportional to the product of masses divided by the square of distance, with a constant value of 6.67 x 10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2.

Insights

  • Sir Isaac Newton's discovery of gravity through the falling apple highlights the simplicity of observing complex natural phenomena, emphasizing the importance of curiosity and keen observation in scientific breakthroughs.
  • The evolution of our understanding of planetary motion, from ancient astrologers' observations to Galileo Galilei's groundbreaking use of the telescope and Johannes Kepler's formulation of laws, underscores the collaborative nature of scientific progress, built upon centuries of accumulated knowledge and technological advancements.
