About Law of Universal Gravitation
Every two masses attract each other with a force proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of their separation, expressed as F = Gm₁m₂/r². Questions also involve the gravitational constant, vector direction, superposition of gravitational forces, and the distinction between gravitational force and gravitational field strength.
