Magnet Brains・2 minutes read

The session covered revising class ninth physics, focusing on the chapter Gravitational Special, including Sir Newton's observation and the Law of Gravitation. Numerical questions and the universal gravitational constant were discussed, emphasizing gravitational force calculations and distance impacts.

Insights

Sir Newton's observation of an apple falling led to the discovery of gravitational force, which is the attractive force between objects in the universe.
Gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, as described by Sir Newton's Law of Gravitation.
The distance between objects significantly impacts gravitational force, with halving the distance quadrupling the force, while doubling the distance reduces the force by a factor of four.

Recent questions

What is the Law of Gravitation?
The Law of Gravitation states that every body in the universe attracts every other body with a force directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
How is gravitational force calculated?
Gravitational force is calculated by multiplying the product of the masses of two objects by the universal gravitational constant and dividing the result by the square of the distance between them.
What is the significance of the universal gravitational constant?
