  2. Schiehallion experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schiehallion_experiment

    The Earth has a mass M E, radius r E and a density ρ E. The two gravitational forces on the plumb-bob are given by Newton's law of gravitation: =, = where G is the Newtonian constant of gravitation. G and m can be eliminated by taking the ratio of F to W:

  3. Gravity of Earth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_of_Earth

    The gravity of Earth, denoted by g, is the net acceleration that is imparted to objects due to the combined effect of gravitation (from mass distribution within Earth) and the centrifugal force (from the Earth's rotation).

  4. Reaction (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_(physics)

    The Earth, among other planets, orbits the Sun because the Sun exerts a gravitational pull that acts as a centripetal force, holding the Earth to it, which would otherwise go shooting off into space. If the Sun's pull is considered an action, then Earth simultaneously exerts a reaction as a gravitational pull on the Sun. Earth's pull has the ...

  5. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    For example, consider a book at rest on a table. The Earth's gravity pulls down upon the book. The "reaction" to that "action" is not the support force from the table holding up the book, but the gravitational pull of the book acting on the Earth. [note 6] Newton's third law relates to a more fundamental principle, the conservation of momentum.

  6. Cavendish experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavendish_experiment

    The Cavendish experiment, performed in 1797–1798 by English scientist Henry Cavendish, was the first experiment to measure the force of gravity between masses in the laboratory [1] and the first to yield accurate values for the gravitational constant.

  7. Newton's law of universal gravitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_law_of_universal...

    The publication of the law has become known as the "first great unification", as it marked the unification of the previously described phenomena of gravity on Earth with known astronomical behaviors. [1] [2] [3] This is a general physical law derived from empirical observations by what Isaac Newton called inductive reasoning. [4]

  8. GRACE and GRACE-FO - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GRACE_and_GRACE-FO

    The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) was a joint mission of NASA and the German Aerospace Center (DLR). Twin satellites took detailed measurements of Earth's gravity field anomalies from its launch in March 2002 to the end of its science mission in October 2017.

  9. Gravitational energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_energy

    In classical mechanics, two or more masses always have a gravitational potential. Conservation of energy requires that this gravitational field energy is always negative, so that it is zero when the objects are infinitely far apart. [2] The gravitational potential energy is the potential energy an object has because it is within a gravitational ...
