Force of gravity = gravitational constant x ([mass of object1 x mass of object 2] / distance squared)- cool... I don't know a lot about it... but is the mass from the center of the object, or from the edge?monospaced
- physics and gravity are so fascinatingmonospaced
- yeah i think distance is calculated from the center of gravity of the object. any conflagration of objects could be 1 object.sarahfailin
- be considered just 1 object. like a solar system, for example, or a galaxysarahfailin
- interesting... so if one is on the surface of a larger planet, the gravity is decreased by their distance from its centermonospaced
- and hence, a planet 17x the mass isn't necessarily 17x the gravity, but closemonospaced
- ok, geek level overloadmonospaced
- Some dense motherfuckers live up in here.wagshaft
- enlighten us, wagshaftmonospaced
- is one dense if they aren't intimately familiar with gravitational physics?monospaced
- maybe they're using the word dense meaning dense with knowledgehereswhatidid
