History of Gravity
What is the order of the scientist (and philosophist) that helped with the understanding of gravity?
Aristotle, Galileo, Newton, & Einstein.
Any particle of matter in the universe attracts any other with a force varying directly as the product of the masses and inversely as the square of the distance between them is the definition of what?
Newton’s law of gravitation
This law states that the magnitude of the electrostatic force of attraction or repulsion between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them
What is Coulombs law?
The law that was created before the other.
Newton's Universal Gravitational Law?
9.8 * 102
999.6
Who recognized that the falling motion found in earth had the same behavior that the Moon and the other objects have?
Issac Newton
The mathematical formula for gravitational force is F = G Mm/R^2 what is G in the formula?
the gravitational constant.
The Electric Force is strongest when charges are...
What is close together?
A force that is stronger than the other that Coulomb’s Law utilizes.
Electrical Force?
What is Newton's First Law?
What experiment did Galileo do to advance our knowledge of gravity?
Galileo conducted experiments rolling objects of different weights down inclined planes (not dropping them off the Tower of Pisa, despite the popular apocryphal stories to this effect), and found that they fell with the same acceleration rate regardless of their weight.

The publication of the theory has become known as the what as it marked the joining of the previously described phenomena of gravity on Earth with known astronomical behaviors.
"first great unification"
If distance doubles, this happens to the force.
What is reduced by 1/4?
A force that is always an attractive force that Newton's Law utilizes.
Gravity?
This scientist had the coolest haircut
What philosophy believed that objects fall at a speed that is proportional to their weight?
Aristotle.
Aristotle believed that objects fall at a speed that is proportional to their weight. In other words, if you took a wooden object and a metal object of the same size and dropped them both, the heavier metal object would fall at a proportionally faster speed.
Some of the most common applications of Newton's universal law are the interaction of 2 earthbound objects, the interactions between one earthbound object and earth itself, astrophysics and what?
the tides
K stands for...
What is Coulomb's constant?
A force that both laws are, that has a property that the total work of a particle that is moved between two points is independent of the path that the particle takes.
Conservative Force?
Albert Einstein discovered which gravitational theory?
General Theory of Relativity, which describes the relationship between matter and motion through the basic explanation that objects with mass actually bend the very fabric of space and time (collectively called spacetime).
While Newton was able to articulate his Law of Universal Gravitation and verify it experimentally, he could only calculate the relative gravitational force in comparison to another force. It wasn’t until Who’s verification of the gravitational constant that the Law of Universal Gravitation received its final algebraic form
Henry Cavendish
The force of attraction or repulsion is inversely proportional to the square of...
What is the distance between particles
A law that both law’s follow, that states that any specified physical quantity is inversely proportional to any square that is the square of the source of that physical quantity.
Inverse Square Law?
