To derive the formula for the acceleration due to gravity (g) using Newton's law of gravitation, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand Newton's Law of Gravitation According to Newton's law of gravitation, the gravitational force (F) between two masses (m1 and m2) is given by the formula: \[ F = \frac{G \cdot m_1 \cdot m_2}{r^2} \] where: - \( G \) is the universal gravitational constant (\( 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{N m}^2/\text{kg}^2 \)), - \( m_1 \) is the mass of one object (for example, the Earth), ...
