Gravitational fields
Gravity :
the mutual attraction between all matter (exists due to the mass of the
objects
Newton 's law of universal
gravitation
:
other particle with force
Every particle with mass in the universe attracts
every a which is directly proportional to the
of their of the distance
product masses and
inversely proportional to the
square between their midpoints
