Newton's Theory of Gravitation

Description:

Newton's Theory of Gravitation, also known as Newtonian Gravity, is a fundamental theory in physics formulated by Sir Isaac Newton in the late 17th century. This theory explains the force of gravity as a universal force of attraction between any two objects with mass in the universe.

Sample Sentences:

• According to Newton's Theory of Gravitation, the gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
• Scientists have extensively studied and verified Newton's Theory of Gravitation, which remains valid for most everyday life situations.
• The discovery and formulation of Newton's Theory of Gravitation revolutionized our understanding of the natural world and paved the way for significant advancements in the field of physics.
• Students learning physics often study Newton's Theory of Gravitation as one of the foundational theories explaining the behavior of objects under the influence of gravity.
