...this whole pomp of stars might have been evolved. The law of gravitation enunciated by Newton is> that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force which diminishes as the square of the distance increases. Thus the sun and the earth mutually pull...

...science, the explanation must seem altogether startling. Ever since Newton propounded his thesis that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force inversely as the mutual distances between the particles and directly as the product of their masses,...

...= gravitional constant. Newton law of cooling. See thermal conductivity. Newton law of gravitation. Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force, F, acting along the line joining the two particles, proportional to the product of the masses rn^i...

...since the time of Newton, all the motions of the heavenly bodies have been explained by assuming that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force directly proportionate to the product of the attracting masses and inversely proportional to the square...

...mathematical physics, notably in the theory of gravitation. Newton's law of universal gravitation asserts that every particle of matter in the universe attracts...force whose direction is that of the line joining them, and whose magnitude varies directly as the product of their masses and inversely as the square...

...; this being, of course, only a particular case of Newton's law of gravitation, which tells us that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force which depends on their masses and on the distances which separate them ; the attraction being proportionately...

...all the heat lost by the wanner bodies is gained by the colder ones. Law of universal gravitation. Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square...
