Learn how to calculate the universal gravitational force between two objects! This video explains Newton’s Law of Gravitation, walking you through the formula, units, and a step-by-step example to ...

You may have heard people say that aboard the International Space Station (ISS) there's "zero gravity," but in fact, gravity is still very much present. The station orbits Earth at an altitude of ...

Thanks to not-so-recent advances in technology, we can shoot just about anything into space, or at the very least into Earth's orbit. At first, we launched spy satellites during the Cold War, but once ...

Astronaut Barry “Butch” Wilmore is “doing good” but is having a “rough” time adjusting to gravity after his prolonged nine-month stint in outer space, his daughter revealed. Daryn Wilmore provided an ...

Imagine living in a place where there’s no up or down, where you float instead of walking, and where gravity doesn’t pull on your body. This is the reality for astronauts living in space. While it may ...

A previous calculation of Newton's gravitational coupling constant G is generalized. This generalization makes it possible to have "atoms of two-dimensional space" with an integer dimension d_{atom} ...
