through the Law of Gravitation enunciated by Newton in 1687. Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force that is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the particles and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Newton’s law of gravitation states that the magnitude of the gravitational force between two masses is directly proportional to the product of the masses, and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, (where the distance is measured between the two centres of the masses). Where. Gm. F. = 1 m 2 r2.

This article is about Kepler's laws of planetary motion which describe the motions of planets in the solar system that were derived by German astronomer Johannes Kepler with later contributions from Sir Isaac Newton for his law of gravitation. It also mentions how these laws apply not only to gravitational but also other inverse-square-law forces.
The article is about the laws of gravitation.
Kepler’s three laws describe the motions of planets in the solar system, including elliptical orbits and angular momentum.
A radius vector joining any planet to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal lengths of time.
The squares of sidereal periods are directly proportional to cubes of mean distances from Sun.
Laws apply not only to gravitational but also to all other inverse-square-law forces and electromagnetic forces within atom if allowance made for relativistic and quantum effects.

Chapter 13 - Universal Gravitation. In Chapter 5 we studied Newton’s three laws of motion. In addition to these laws, Newton formulated the law of universal gravitation. This law states that two masses are attracted by a force given by.

How did Galileo explain Newton's law of gravitation?
Newton’s law of gravitation takes Galileo’s observation that all masses fall with the same acceleration a step further, explaining the observation in terms of a force that causes objects to fall—in fact, in terms of a universally existing force of attraction between masses.
