The equation is F = GmM/r2 whereF is the force of gravity,
G is the universal gravitational constant,
m and M are the two masses, and
r is the distance between the masses.

Who was given credit for discovering gravity?
Sir Issac Newton is usually credited with the law of universal gravitation... it's not that nobody had ever noticed gravity before, but Newton came up with an equation to describe how it works.
What does it mean to say that the law of gravity is universal?
I Think It Is Good
The equation F equals ma relates to one of Newton's Three Laws of Gravity Which law of gravity does it relate to?
Newton's 2nd Law
What law says gravity depends on mass ans distance?
That is the universal law of gravitation. The force of gravity is proportional to the product of the masses, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance (that is, at 10 times the distance, the force will be reduced to 1/100 of the original value).
What is the difference between relativity and gravity?
Commonly, there really is not a difference. However, if you are referring to Newtonian Law of Universal Gravitation and Einsteinian Relativity, then there is a difference. Both theories describe gravity. Universal Gravitation predicts an instantaneous force which attract objects together. Mass and distance of the objects are the two main components of Universal Gravitation. Einstein's Relativity explains Gravity as a distortion on the space-time fabric as a result of the presence of mass. These distortions cause what we experience as Gravity. Einstein's Gravity is not an instantaneous force because it travels at the speed of light.
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 is calculated from the Universal Gravity Equation?
The force of gravity between 2 objects.
What is the law of universal gravitatation?
It is the gravity of the earth.
How does newton's law of universal gravitation relate to hockey?
gravity keeps the people and the puck on the ground Could you give an example of an equation that would show this ?
A plant must overcome what law to grow?
Universal law of gravity
What is the difference between the universal law of gravity and the law of gravity?
Nothing. They're two ways of referring to the same law of nature.
How is the universal law of gravity different from the law of gravity?
Those are different terms used to refer to the same phenomenon.
