    Newton's law of universal gravitation extends gravity beyond earth. The law of the universal gravitation is about the universality of gravity. Newton's law of universal gravitation states that every particle is attached with each other particle in the universe. Newton’s law of the universal gravitation states that, “Any two bodies in the universe attract each other with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between

    Newton’s discoveries about gravity all began while he was sitting under an apple tree. one of the apples fell from the tree making him begin to think about what caused the change in acceleration and velocity in the apple. Newton’s law of universal gravitation states that “Every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force directed along the lines of centers for

    you falling into bed after a long day.     Newton’s Law of Gravitation directly states “any two bodies attract each other with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely  proportional to the square of the distance between them.”  Wow, that’s a mouthful.  Leave it to the professionals. All we need to know is what goes up must come down, and yes that includes that missing balloon from your fifth birthday. Newton’s scientific revolution changed the way people

    The Modern Age appeared when people began to evolve from medieval times, lasting throughout the centuries and into today’s society. It’s not about birth anymore; who you were born to doesn’t matter. People are given so much more freedom than in the feudal times because compared to the Middle Ages, when brute force was dominant, the Modern Age is based upon what people can do, intellectually more so than physically; which lets them become anything they want. But when did this starting happening? Who

    moon 6.4 days to orbit Object X, so we must change days to seconds. To change days to seconds we must change days to hours to minutes to seconds.Now that the measurements are in the correct units, we can start substituting them into Kepler’s Third Law. First we plug in the radius (1.957×〖10〗^7 m) into the numerator. Since the radius is cubed, 1.957×〖10〗^7 m will become 7.50×〖10〗^21 m^3. Next multiply m^3by 4π^2 to get 2.96×〖10〗^23 m^3 in the numerator.Next we substitute in the gravitational constant

    to the force that pulls an object to the ground. He furthered his experiment to include calculations from the centripetal force equation and the pendulum-sling relationship. Thus, this began the experimentation of gravity and the development of the laws of gravity. While working with John Hooke, Newton redirected his experiment to the problem of the path of a body subjected to a centrally directed force that varies as the inverse square of the distance. Newton determined this to be an ellipse. With

    1.3. Literature Review Trade gravity model has its roots from physics where the law of gravity states that the force of gravity between two objects is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. In symbols: Force of Gravity=G((M_1 M_2)/(D_12^2 )) (2.1) In the early version of the gravity trade model, the gravity equation can be represented in the following general equation

    Knowledge is the understanding of something such as facts, information or descriptions. Many might say that we acquire knowledge through experience which is true however, a combination of stories and facts play a major role in gaining knowledge. A fact is a statement that is true and can be proven through experimentation. Stories on the other hand are accounts of imaginary or real people and events told for entertainment. One area of knowledge which mainly consists of facts but takes the form of

    In physics gravitation is the tendency of agent with object to accelerate towards each other. In the Newtonian law each object attracts every other object by a gravitational force. Gravitational search algorithm is one of the newest stochastic population based meta heuristic that has been inspired by newtanion laws of gravity and motion. The algorithm is consisted of collection of searcher agents that interact with each other through the gravity force. The agents are deliberated as objects and their

    I wanted to learn, I wanted to help and I wanted to contribute. “I wonder,” I said, “if I can come here more often and put my hands on it too.” “You’ll need to get a permit from the lab.” The more I visited, the more I wanted to get involved. I sent an application for a permit as a volunteer working with Ying and couldn’t wait till the permit was granted. At the beginning, after completing household chores I rode my bike to the lab for a few hours each time. As the days went on, I stayed longer
