C) Universal Law of Gravity
Gravity - mutual force of attraction between any two objects in the universe
G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 x 10-11 Nm2/kg2
m1, m2 two masses
r - distance between
Giancoli p. 131) 28
Fg proportional to
Fg inversely proportional to the square of distance between the object's center of mass
Ex) If the gravitational force on satellite A is 160,000 N, what is the gravitational force on satellite B?
F = 40,000 N
(twice distance, 1/4 the force)
