Answer:
The force of gravity
Explanation:
Gravity was studied, by early scientists such as Copernicus and others, Galileo was the first to ensure that planets moved according to a physical equation that depended on a force that caused celestial bodies to move and interact with each other. But years later Newton based on studies conducted deciphering what Galileo assumed, he was able to find the equation of the force of gravity in any body in the universe. This equation depends on the masses of the two interacting bodies, the distance between them and a constant, which I call universal gravitation constant.
Fg = gravity force [N]
G = universal gravitation constant = 6.67*10^(-11) [N*m^2/kg^2]
m1 = mass of the 1st body [kg]
m2 = mass of the 2nd body [kg]
r = distance between the bodies [meters]
