What is Science?


Science is the Study of Nature
(By Observing  &  Experimenting)
To Discover Laws that Describe How It Works.

Eg. Newton’s Law of Gravitation

F1 = F2 =

Like a magnet, all objects in space attract each other.
The more mass they have, the stronger the pull.
The closer they are, the stronger the pull.
F1 = F2 =
G x
m1xm2
r2
More Less
Isaac Newton discovered that the force of this attraction can be described using the following formula:
F1 = F2 =
G x
m1xm2
r2
More Less
F= the gravitational force between bodies
m = the masses of the bodies
r = the distance between the centres of two bodies,
G = the universal gravitational constant.
The force of this attraction is:
  1. proportional to the product of their masses (m1xm2), and
  2. inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them (r2).
