Lesson: Newton’s Law of Gravitation Physics • First Year of Secondary School

Students will be able to

• understand that every mass in the universe is attracted to every other mass,
• understand that this attraction can be modeled as a force that acts on the center of mass of an object, and that for two massive objects, the force on each points along the line intersecting their centers of mass,
• use to calculate the gravitational force experienced by two objects.
