Calculating the Force of Gravity with Newton's Law

Miacademy & MiaPrep Learning Channel

This educational video provides a comprehensive introduction to Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, bridging conceptual understanding with mathematical application. It begins by contextualizing the universality of physical laws, explaining how the same force that causes an apple to fall also governs the motion of planets. The narrator breaks down the gravitational formula step-by-step, identifying each variable and explaining the significance of the gravitational constant (G) determined by Henry Cavendish.
