Newton's law of Gravity_ $\quad F= G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

Intuitive

Explanations in this section should contain no formulas, but instead colloquial things like you would hear them during a coffee break or at a cocktail party.

Concrete

Abstract

The motto in this section is: the higher the level of abstraction, the better.

Why is it interesting?

Newton's law is the static limit of the Einstein equation.

Definitions

  • $F$ is the force between the two masses.
  • $G$ is the gravitational constant.
  • $m_1$ and $m_2$ are the masses of the two objects in questions.
  • $r$ is the distance between the two objects.
