25 wrz 2024 · Gravity, in mechanics, is the universal force of attraction acting between all bodies of matter. It is by far the weakest force known in nature and thus plays no role in determining the internal properties of everyday matter.
In physics, gravity (from Latin gravitas 'weight' [1]) is a fundamental interaction primarily observed as mutual attraction between all things that have mass.
Every object in the universe attracts every other object in the universe with a gravitational force. The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is… directly proportional to the product of their masses and; inversely proportional to the square of the separation between their centers
Newton's law of universal gravitation states that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force that is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.
Every object that has mass exerts a gravitational pull or force on every other mass. The strength of this pull depends on the masses of objects at play. Gravity keeps the planets in orbit around the sun and the moon around the Earth. Hence, we define gravity as:
6 sty 2022 · Gravity is a pulling force (always a force of attraction) between every object in the universe (every bit of matter, everything that has some mass) and every other object. It's a bit like an invisible magnetic pull, but there's no magnetism involved.
Gravity is the first force to be postulated as an action-at-a-distance force, that is, objects exert a gravitational force on one another without physical contact and that force falls to zero only at an infinite distance.
