...motion, Fig. 104, when two bodies in space are considered, since in such cases the attractive force varies directly as the product of their masses and inversely as the square of the dis__ tance between them. The same atO traction holds between two opposite ' poles of magnets or between...

...force whose direction is that of the straight line joining the two, and whose pull is in proportion directly as the product of their masses, and inversely as the square of their distance. ' ' That law rules every particle of matter in the universe — even the materials...

...true if we express it in the form — between two material bodies there is an attractive force which varies directly as the product of their masses and inversely as the square of their distances ; but whether that force is an ultimate property of all material bodies, or whether...

...every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force whose magnitude is directly as the product of their masses, and inversely as the square of their distances. Let us therefore consider one of the particles, A, of a comet, and let us represent...

...weight of the moving body. 8. The force of attraction between two bodies, such as the earth and the sun, varies directly as the product of their masses, and inversely as the square of the distance between them. 9. If an object is whirled in a circle at the end of a string, the tension or...

...other particle with a force whose direction is that of the line joining the two, and whose magnitude is directly as the product of their masses, and inversely as the square of their distance from each other.' It is now very questionable whether the law of inverse squares holds...

...considered as variable. The law of variation is expressed as follows: The attraction of two spheres varies directly as the product of their masses and inversely as the square of the distance between their centers. Thus, to calculate the work done in lifting a sphere whose weight at...

...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. 2. (motion) (1) Every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion...

...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. 2. (motion) (1) Every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion...

...famous law of gravitation. It reads as follows: "Every body attracts every other body with a force which varies directly as the product of their masses, and inversely as the square of the distance by which they are separated." In other words, the earth is attracting every star in the universe,...
