how did Newton's guess the inverse square rule
Answers
Explanation:
According to the inverse-square law of gravitaion, the force of gravitation on a planet should decrease as the square of the distance of the planet from the sun. Newton further showed that the gravitational force is proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects.
Answer:
The inverse square law proposed by Newton suggests that the force of gravity acting between any two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the object's centers. Altering the separation distance (d) results in an alteration in the force of gravity acting between the objects.
Explanation:
there is a claim that Robert Hooke discovered an inverse square relation of gravitating bodied prior Isaac Newton, who later applied it more successfully in astronomy (Hooke apparently studied bodies on earth).
This is said to result in attribution of the principle to Newton, rather than Hooke, since the astronomical example were much more obvious than the small measurements with bodies on earth.
