Laws of gravitation

Introduction  When an object is placed on a tilted surface, it will frequently slide down the surface as a result. How quickly an object slides down a surface is determined by how inclined the surface is; the more tilted the surface, the faster an object slides down it. An inclined plane is a term used […]

Newton’s law of gravitation was put forward by Sir Issac Newton in 1687. It stated that any particle of matter in the universe attracts the other with force varying with a direct proportionality between the product of the masses and inverse proportionality between the square of the distance between them.  Kepler used it to formulate

Define Acceleration due to Gravity The acceleration due to gravity refers to the acceleration and speed gained by an object due to the gravitational pull exerted by the gravitation on it. It is always calculated in m/s2. Gravitation is a vector quantity as it has both direction and magnitude. The acceleration due to gravity is
