This is Newton's law of universal gravitation. The vector form is a later version when vector analysis was created for solving scalar and vector products of vectors. See http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/GBSSC...les/u6l3c.html and http://www-solar.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/~a...als/node3.html


Time independence: [∂E(g)]²=[∂F(a)×∂r(a)]·[∂F(b)×∂r(b)] and Mass independence: a(tr(t)=c²
