Hi Mohan; The formula for gravity in terms of mass and distance is:
The mechanisms of Newton's law of universal gravitation; a point mass
m1 attracts another point mass
m2 by a force
F2 which is proportional to the product of the two masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance (
r) between them. Regardless of masses or distance, the magnitudes of |
F1| and |
F2| will always be equal.
G is the
gravitational constant.
Isaac Newton's theory of universal As far as energy, it's defined as the ability to do work. There are two types of energy; KINETIC ( the energy from movement ) and POTENTIAL ( the energy from position ( gravity) ). I hope this helps. Best to you, Pat P.S.
