Q

Newton’s 2nd law?

A

An object of mass m undergoes an acceleration a when acted upon by a force F. In the form of an equation, this reads F = ma

Q

Explain F = G x m1 x m2 / r^2

What is F, G, m1, m2 and r^2

A

F - force
G - Gravity
M1 and M2 - mass of the two objects
r^2 - square distance

Force equals gravity times the two masses divided by square distance (between the two masses)
