  2. List of equations in gravitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_equations_in...

    A common misconception occurs between centre of mass and centre of gravity.They are defined in similar ways but are not exactly the same quantity. Centre of mass is the mathematical description of placing all the mass in the region considered to one position, centre of gravity is a real physical quantity, the point of a body where the gravitational force acts.

  3. Newton's law of universal gravitation - Wikipedia

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

    [1] [2] [3] This is a general physical law derived from empirical observations by what Isaac Newton called inductive reasoning. [4] It is a part of classical mechanics and was formulated in Newton's work Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica ("the Principia"), first published on 5 July 1687. The equation for universal gravitation thus ...

  4. Gravitational acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_acceleration

    At a fixed point on the surface, the magnitude of Earth's gravity results from combined effect of gravitation and the centrifugal force from Earth's rotation. [2] [3] At different points on Earth's surface, the free fall acceleration ranges from 9.764 to 9.834 m/s 2 (32.03 to 32.26 ft/s 2), [4] depending on altitude, latitude, and longitude.

  5. Theoretical gravity - Wikipedia

    For example, the equation above gives the acceleration at 9.820 m/s 2, when GM = 3.986 × 10 14 m 3 /s 2, and R = 6.371 × 10 6 m. The centripetal radius is r = R cos( φ ) , and the centripetal time unit is approximately ( day / 2 π ), reduces this, for r = 5 × 10 6 metres, to 9.79379 m/s 2 , which is closer to the observed value.

  6. Equations for a falling body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_for_a_falling_body

    A set of equations describing the trajectories of objects subject to a constant gravitational force under normal Earth-bound conditions. Assuming constant acceleration g due to Earth's gravity, Newton's law of universal gravitation simplifies to F = mg , where F is the force exerted on a mass m by the Earth's gravitational field of strength g .
