Formula and explanation
Formula: F = G(m₁ m₂)/(r²) Content: Every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. Applicable Conditions: Point masses or spherically symmetric bodies. Explanation: An extension and application of Newton's laws of motion to areas such as celestial motion. G is the gravitational constant.
