Angel Florence v. Villare - Scientific Law

Newton's universal law of gravitation states that every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. This can be represented by the equation F = Gm1m2/d2, where F is the gravitational force, G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects, and d is the distance between them.

Newton’s universal law of gravitation states that every object in the universe attracts
every other object with a force, which is DIRECTLY
their masses and INVERSELY proportional to the square of the distance between
them.
