Gravity
• Any two objects are attracted
to each other simply because
they have mass.
Universal Law of Gravitation
• Gravitational force is a field force between two particles -- in all
mediums.
• Force varies as the inverse square of the distance
• Force is proportional to mass of objects
=
∙
= 6.67 × 10 • G is the Universal Gravitational Constant.
• Gravity force acts from the center of object.

Gravity in orbit:
FreeFall
Astronauts ≡ "weightless"
distance to the center of the earth is only about 10 % greater
force of gravity only slightly less
Falling endlessly around the earth
Gravity doesn't seem to work while falling.
weightlessness is caused by being in a constant state of free fall.
