Both are Inverse square law. It corresponds to the concept of lines of force spreading out uniformly from a source (mass or electric charge). If you imagine these line passing through a sphere surrounding the source at a distance R, The lines have to pass through its surface area of 4pi.R^2, so their density goes inversely as the square of the radius, (inverse square law) and hence the concept of lines of force.

What is the mathematical form of coulombs law similar to?
newtons gravitational law is similar to that of coulomb's law...
How is coulombs law similar to newtons law of gravity?
Both are 'Inverse square' forces, f=k/r2 .
Can you give an example of a sentence using the word gravitation?
Newtons law of gravitation show us that the gravitation force between two objects directly proportion to their masses.
How is newtons third law connected to universal gravitation?
Newton's third law states that if an object "A" exerts a force on object "B", then object "B" will exert the same force (but in the opposite direction), on object "A". This applies to gravitation, as well as other forces.
How is newtons law different from coulombs law?
Both have the concept of variation of force inversely with the square of the distance. But in case of coulomb we have electric charges and in case of newton's gravitation law we have masses. Coulomb's force can be either attractive and repulsive where as Newton's is only attractive
What is the mathematical form of coulombs law similar to?
newtons gravitational law is similar to that of coulomb's law...
What does the universal law of gravitation sate?
It states newtons law of gravitation
How is coulombs law similar to newtons law of gravity?
Both are 'Inverse square' forces, f=k/r2 .
How is coulombs law different from newton law?
Newtons law has to due with mass and ATTRACTION only Coulombs law has to due with charge and ATTRACTION AND REPULSION
How is coulombs law the same as newtons law how are the?
Both have the concept of variation of force inversely with the square of the distance. But in case of coulomb we have electric charges and in case of newton's gravitation law we have masses. Coulomb's force can be either attractive and repulsive where as Newton's is only attractive
How is coulombs law the same as newtons law how are the laws different?
Both have the concept of variation of force inversely with the square of the distance. But in case of coulomb we have electric charges and in case of newton's gravitation law we have masses. Coulomb's force can be either attractive and repulsive where as Newton's is only attractive
What are the units of the Coulomb constant k which appears in Coulomb's law?
newtons * meters squared / coulombs squared
How does newtons law of universal gravitation explain why a basketball rolls across the court?
it doesnt
Can you give an example of a sentence using the word gravitation?
Newtons law of gravitation show us that the gravitation force between two objects directly proportion to their masses.
What is the unit for the Universal Law of Gravity?
The Universal Law of Gravitation is a force equation, therefore it should have units of Newtons.
What are the limitations coulombs law?
Limitations of coulombs law
Newtons ideas are called the law of gravitation?
Newton worked out a theory of gravitation which was modified by Einstein. He also described Optics and motion. Only one of his theories covers gravity.
