...definite form. Moreover, in virtue of the universal applicability of the law of gravitation — viz. that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force directly proportional to the mass of the attracting particle, and inversely proportional to the square of the...

...the stone back to itself — an instance of a general law, one operation of an ever-active force. For every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force proportional to the product of their masses, and increasing as the square of the distance decreases....

...= 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 m1m»...

...= 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...

...Newtonian constant of gravitation — See constant of gravitation. Newton's laws — 1. (gravitation) Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force proportional to the product of their masses and inversely as the square of the distance between them....

...Newtonian constant of gravitation— See constant of gravitation. Newton's laws— 1. (gravitation) Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force proportional to the product of their masses and inversely as the square of the distance between them....

...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 of their...

...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...

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

...; 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...
