...to the statement of the law of gravitation which is well expressed in the following statement: / 88. Law of Gravitation. — Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional...

...for the purpose. The result proved the correctness of his view. It enabled him to state the Universal Law of Gravitation — Every particle of matter in the Universe attracts every other particle, with a force which is proportional to the product of their masses, and inversely proportional to the...

...of coal is converted by combustion to heat energy, which in turn is converted to energy of motion. Gravitation. — Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle, consequently all bodies attract each other. This mutual attraction is known as gravitation. A measurement...

...difference in frequency of vibration of the two notes producing them. • Gravitation 124. Law of Universal Gravitation. Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force varying directly as the product of their masses, and inversely as the square of their...

...so, at first, he could not prove his law. The general law of gravitation formulated by Newton is that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle of matter in the universe with a force that is directly proportional to its bulk, or mass, and inversely proportional...

...force is given in the following generalisation, first explicitly given by Newton, and known as the Law of Gravitation: Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force whose direction is that of the straight line joining the two, and whose magnitude is proportional...

...— Sir Isaac Newton, who worked out the mathematical formula for the laiv governing falling bodies : "Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle of matter, directly as their masses and inversely as the square root of the distance between them." Nobody knows...

...some unknown level. On these views Newton is understood to have at first rested his law of universal gravitation: Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force directly proportional to the mass of the attracting particle, and inversely to the square...

...Newton suggested that it was fundamentally a property of matter, and stated his great law of universal gravitation : " Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force varying directly as the product of their masses and inversely as the square of the distance...

...the previously known laws of falling bodies and from astronomical observations. According to his law, every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle of matter with a force which is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the...
