Newton's "Law" of Universal Gravitation.
It even tells how to use the numbers for masses and distances, and how to
calculate the exact strength and direction of gravity. A lot of the physical
properties of space are wrapped up in it, and it predicts the acceleration of
free fall and the elliptical orbits of the planets. It is a very complicated and
detailed Law, full of mysterious mathematical symbols.
Here it is:
F = G M1M2/R2
That's it !

The force of gravity depends on?
Gravitational force depends on distance and mass. Thus, the formula for calculating gravitational force between 2 objects with a given distance: G[(mass 1)(mass 2)]/distance squared. G is universal gravitational constant: 6.67x10 raised to -11 power. Sorry if it's a little confusing to read...since I can't do basic math operations here.
State the law of gravitation?
Where f = the gravitational force, G = the gravitational constant, m1 = the mass of the first body, m2 = the mass of the second body and d = the distance (note: sometimes r is used for radius) between the centres of gravity of the two bodies:f = (Gm1m2) / d2
What two things effect the magnitude of gravity?
Mass & distance.
The strenght of the force of gravity depends on?
The strength of the force of Gravity depends on the mass of the object exerting the gravitational force and the distance between the two objects. Gravity is the inverse of the square of the distance between the two objects, times the two masses. F = (G * m1 * m2)/(r squared) G is the universal gravitational constant G = 6.6726 x 10 -11 N-m 2 /kg 2
The amount of gravity a space object has depends on its.....?
Mass.
Gravity depends on what factors?
mass and distance
Newton figured out that gravity depends on mass and?
Distance
Newton found that gravity depends upon mass of the planet you are on and the distance you are from the what?
The strength of gravity between 2 bodies depends on your mass and the planet's mass, and the distance between the center of your mass and the center of the planet's mass.
Gravity depends on the mass and distance of an object?
Yes, exactly
Why does gravity differ from various celestial bodies?
Gravity depends both on mass and on distance.
Gravity depends on mass and?
Relative distance between two objects.
What does the force of gravity between two objects depends on?
the masses & the distance between the
What is the law of force?
All objects have gravity and gravity depends on the mass of an object and the distance between the object.
Does the earth's gravity depends on the sun?
No, it depends only on Earth's mass, and our distance from Earth's center.
What force is the force that depends on the mass of two objects and the distance between them?
gravity
The force of gravity between 2 objects depends on?
The distance between them and their mass.
How slow do planets orbit?
It depends on their size, mass, distance and strength of gravity.
