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.

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


Masses are to newtons gravitational law as charges are to what?

Charges are to Coulomb's law. Coulomb's law describes the electrostatic force between two charged particles, similar to how Newton's law of gravitation describes the gravitational force between two masses.


What are the units of the Coulomb constant k which appears in Coulomb's law?

newtons * meters squared / coulombs squared


What is the mathematical form of coulombs law similar to?

Coulomb's law can be mathematically represented in a way similar to Newton's law of gravitation, where the force between two point charges is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them and directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of the charges. The formula for Coulomb's law is F = k * (q1*q2) / r^2, where F is the force between the two charges, q1 and q2 are the magnitudes of the charges, r is the distance between them, and k is Coulomb's constant.

What is the relationship between Issac Newtons first law of motion and gravitational potential energy?

No Gravitational potential energy equals no force and thus no acceleration.


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 does the proportionality constant k in coulombs law is huge in ordinary units whereas the proportionality constant g in newtons law of gravition is tiny mean?

It means that the force of electrical attraction (or repulsion) between two particles with units charges will be greater than the gravitational attraction between two particles with unit mass which are the same distance apart.


Is coulombs law a universal law?

No


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
