Okay lets break this down shall we, that way non science oriented people can understand this.
So the concept basically entails that every particle of matter in the universe, attracts ever other part of matter. Confusing?? I know. I feel the same way. Lets blame it on the Apple! But, lets continue.
So here is the equation!!
What is all these numbers and letters mean you must ask yourself, i know i did!
- F is the force between the masses,
- G is the gravitation constant
- m1 is the first mass,
- m2 is the second mass, and
- r is the distance between the masses.
Our textbook features 3 simple statements that are suppose to help summarize this law!
Here it goes!
---- " Every mass attracts every other mass through the force called gravity"
--- " The strength of gravitational force attracting any two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses. For example, doubling the mass of one object doubles the force of gravity between the two objects"
-- Finally!!! I know, i know! " The strength of gravity between two objects decreases with the square of the distance between their centers. We therefore say that the gravitational force follows an inverse square law. For example, doubling the distance between two objects weakens the force of gravity by factor of 2^2, or 4.
The way i understand this science law is that 1. its not in our constitution, so you can't get arrested if you don't want to follow it! Always a good fact. Lets take the planet and stars for example, we rotate on our axis, revolving. But, what stops us from flying away into the cold dark galaxy, is the kinda formal space agreement between planets, stars, etc, that says everyone has their own boundary, you may not cross! If we did not have this agreement or "gravity", nothing would stay in place. You put that bike down and it would fall through the ground into the obis, how happy would you're parents be then? Like to magnets when you put the wrong side together, they push away from each other, but they can also attract each other, that's kinda like this gravity thing, hopefully haha. So much explanation, hope this all made sense if not, take a social science degree, no math really required!
Maybe archaeology? Can find some of these haha.Their working that gravity haha.
