The law of universal gravitation establishes the ratio of two objects attraction based on mass and an inverse of distance. This means that people will stay on the earth because of their proximity, but that massive objects like the sun and Jupiter will not suddenly crash into each other because of their distance.
What else can I help you with?
How are scientific fact and a law different?
A fact can be either a general observation (water boils at 100o Celsius under normal atmospheric pressure) or a specific observation (this glass contains 100 milliliters of water). A law of nature is some illuminating general observation that helps us to understand how the universe works. The classic example of this is Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation - which remains very useful, even though it has been subject to revision by Einstein.
What was an achievement of sir Isaac newton?
He discovered the three laws of motion, generalized binomial theorem, later recognized as calculus and most importantly gravity which is a force exerted by every object that has mass, this force is usually a pulling force.
What us scientific law?
A simplified version of a scientific theory.
How does the scientific method provide a universal system for experimentation?
It helps us further understand and evaluate a scientific problem by providing 6 useful steps that we must follow or is recommended to follow to solve an experiment.
How do you Use the terms technology scientific law and scientific theory in complete sentences?
Technology is the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, often resulting in tools or systems that enhance human capabilities. A scientific law describes a consistent and universal principle derived from repeated observations and experiments, often expressed mathematically. In contrast, a scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of evidence and capable of making predictions, but it can be revised as new evidence emerges. Together, these concepts help us understand and innovate within the realms of science and everyday life.
Who gave us the Law of Universal Gravitation that describes the force of attraction that exists between all matter in the universe?
Sir Isaac Newton is credited with giving us the Law of Universal Gravitation, which describes the force of attraction between all matter in the universe. This law states that every object in the universe 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.
Explain how the law of gravitation enables us to measure the masses of astronomical bodies?
You can use Newton's law of universal gravitation. The law states that F = (G*m^2)/(r^2) where F is the force in newtons (N), m is the mass in kilograms (kg), r is the radius in meters (m)
Can you give an example of a sentence using the word gravitation?
Newtons law of gravitation show us that the gravitation force between two objects directly proportion to their masses.
Who or what gave us the law of universal gravity?
Isaac Newton.
How does newtons law affect the force of gravity?
Newton's law of universal gravitation states that the force of gravity between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. This law helps us understand how the force of gravity between objects changes as their masses change or as they move closer or farther apart.
The fact that the sun exerts a force on you even though it is very far away is a consequence of the universal law?
of gravitation, as formulated by Sir Isaac Newton. The law states that every mass attracts every other mass 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 means that even though the sun is far away, its massive size still exerts a gravitational pull on objects, such as us on Earth.
How did astronomers calculate the sun's mass?
We start by determining the mass of the Earth. Issac Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation tells us that the force of attraction between two objects is proportional the product of their masses divided by the square of the distance between their centers of mass. To obtain a reasonable approximation, we assume their geographical centers are their centers of mass.Because we know the radius of the Earth, we can use the Law of Universal Gravitation to calculate the mass of the Earth in terms of the gravitational force on an object (its weight) at the Earth's surface, using the radius of the Earth as the distance. We also need the Constant of Proportionality in the Law of Universal Gravitation, G. This value was experimentally determined by Henry Cavendish in the 18th century to be the extemely small force of 6.67 x 10-11 Newtons between two objects weighing one kilogram each and separated by one meter. Cavendish determined this constant by accurately measuring the horizontal force between metal spheres in an experiment sometimes referred to as "weighing the earth."
How did Albert Einstein discover gravity?
Albert Einstein did not discover gravity; it was Sir Isaac Newton who formulated the law of universal gravitation. However, Einstein revolutionized our understanding of gravity with his theory of general relativity, which explains gravity as a curvature in spacetime caused by the presence of mass and energy.
What is universal about Newton's law of universal gravitation?
Newton's law of universal gravitation is about the universality of gravity. He discovered that gravitation is universal. All objects attract each other with a force of gravitational attraction. Gravity is universal. This force of gravitational attraction is directly dependent upon the masses of both objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates their centers.
How do they determine the weight of a planet?
We start by determining the mass of the Earth. Issac Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation tells us that the force of attraction between two objects is proportional the product of their masses divided by the square of the distance between their centers of mass.

What states that the total momentum of objects that interact do not change?
You have more or less described a law of physics known as conservation of momentum, which is not the same thing as the law of universal gravitation. The law of universal gravitation describes the way mass attracts other mass, and the law of conservation of momentum tells us that momentum is neither created nor destroyed. These two laws are not connected.
