The universal law of gravitation just says that the strength of the force that two objects have on each other is proportional to the sum of the two objects mass divided by the square of the distance between them. For example if there is a planet that weighs 2 and another that weighs 3 and they are 4 apart from each other the force would be (2x3)/(4x4) =6/16 = 0.375 If they are only 3 away from each other the calculations are (2x3)/ (3x3) =6/9= 0.667 Then if they got closer to each other about 2 for argument sake the atraction grows stronger (2x3)/ (2x2) = 6/4 = 1.5 And even more when they get closer still 1 for example (2x3)/ (1x1) = 6/1 = 6 What if they are only 0.5 it gets way way bigger. (2x3)/(0.5x0.5)= 6/0.25 = 24 In other words the further they are apart the way faster the pull decreases. A book by Isaac Asimov is where i got this information from. The book is called "The Secret of the Universe"

Who is the scientist responsible for the universal law or gravition?

Isaac Newton is the scientist responsible for formulating the universal law of gravitation. He described the force of gravity as an attractive force that exists between all objects with mass in the universe.


What three things are involved in the law of universal gravitation?

What is the law of universal gravition?

The law of universal gravitation states that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. This force acts along the line joining the centers of the two particles.


How does newtons law of universal gravition apply to earth and the moon?

Newton's law of universal gravitation states that every object attracts every other object with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. In the case of Earth and the Moon, this law explains the gravitational force between them that keeps the Moon in orbit around Earth due to their masses and the distance between them.

Does the law of universal gravitation state that the total momentum of objects that interact does not change?

No. The "total momentum" is related to Newton's Third Law. No, that is the law of conservation of momentum.
