Inverse-Square Gravity: Double the Distance, Quarter the Force



For the same masses in the Newtonian point-mass or spherical-body model, doubling center-to-center distance reduces gravitational force to one quarter. Bob explains the relationship and why the distance reference matters. Want to learn more?
