Newton described gravity as a force of attraction that exists between two objects with mass. This force is proportional to the product of the masses of the objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. It acts in a straight line between the centers of the two objects.
What else can I help you with?
Is gravity an example of a scientific law?
Gravity is a fundamental force of nature, not a scientific law. Scientific laws describe how nature behaves under certain conditions, while gravity is a force that causes objects to be attracted to each other. The law that describes gravity is Newton's law of universal gravitation.
Who is the British scientist who first described gravity?
Newton. He was the first person to described gravity in terms of mathematics. It is called Newton's law of universal gravity.
Can the force of gravity be negative according to Newton's laws?
No, according to Newton's laws, the force of gravity cannot be negative.
What best describe gravity?
Gravity is the force of attraction that exists between all objects with mass. It is responsible for holding planets in orbit around the sun and objects on Earth's surface. Gravity is described by Newton's law of universal gravitation and is a fundamental force in the universe.
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.
Who was the first British scientist to describe gravity?
Isaac Newton was the first british scientist to describe gravity.
Who is the first person to describe the force of gravity?
Isaac Newton
Why did Isaac Newton name gravity gravity?
He did not. The concept of gravity existed before Newton; everyone who has ever lived has known that things fall. Newton was simply the first person to accurately describe gravity and how it works both on Earth and in space.
What is the contribution of newton?
newtons law, or laws they describe gravity and momentum etc..
What is the metric unit that is used to describe weight as a measure of the force of gravity?
the Newton (N)
Who was the first person to describe gravity?
Newton was the first to mention the idea but others made changes to what is called gravity. Einstein is one of these.
The metric unit that is used to describe weight as a measure of the force of gravity is called what?
the Newton (N)
What is the unit of gravity named after?
Cavemen/women knew of gravity. Sir Isaac Newton was the first to use the word "gravity" to describe the action of a falling object toward the Earth.
Is the metric unit that is used to describe weight as a mesure of the force of gravity is called a Newton?
The unit of force in the SI (metric) system is the Newton. It's used to describe any force, no matter where the force came from. "Weight" is a good example of a gravitational force.
What was Isaac newton theories?
Isaac newton discovered the law of gravity.
How does gravity relates to newtons 3 las of motion?
Newton's three laws of motion describe how forces affect motion. They have nothing to do with gravity, except that gravity is one of many possible causes of force.
How did Isaac Newton create gravity?
Isaac Newton did not create gravity. Gravity has always existed. He did experiments and tests about gravity. Newton wrote Newton's Law of Gravitation, but create... nope. Look up his law for more info.
