- According to the law of universal gravitation, the attractive force (F) between two bodies is proportional to the product of their masses (m1 and m2), and inversely proportional to the square of the distance, r, (inverse-square law) between them:
- $F_g = G \dfrac{m_1 m_2}{r^2} $
I am taking the basic physics class thru Udacity. This blog is my scratch pad and results as I work my way thru the class. In addition, I am refreshing myself on basic calculus
