No doubt, many folk throughout history were well aware of the force of gravity.
But Isaac newton had been discussing the motion of a comet, and this led him to consider the motion of planets, and one day, he observed an apple to fall, and it was this latter that focused his attention. He repeated this tale several times in his life.
The apple did not fall on his head!
But as above, this led him to consider the broader problem, and to explain it.
Aristotle discovered gravitational potential theory.
Sir Isaac newton discovered Force. He discovered lots of different type of Forces. E.g: gravitational force.
No, there is no mass there to have any gravitational force.
If the gravitational force is less than the buoyant force, the drag force will act in the opposite direction of the gravitational force.
how is weight affected by gravitational force?
Gravitational force is the strongest when you are the closest to a mass.
Mars has a gravitational force of 3.7m/s2.
= What is the gravitational force called gravity? =
The gravitational force between two objects increases with their masses; the larger the masses, the stronger the force. Additionally, the gravitational force decreases with distance; the farther apart the objects are, the weaker the force between them.
Gravitational force F = mass x g where g is the gravitational acceleration.
Gravitational force exerts an attraction on objects.
Gravitational force changes with the mass of the objects and the distance between them. As mass increases, the gravitational force also increases. Similarly, as the distance between two objects increases, the gravitational force decreases.
