This tag is for questions regarding the Newtonian model of gravity in which the force between two objects is given by $~GMm/r^2~.$ It is a natural phenomenon by which all things with mass or energy – including planets, stars, galaxies, and even light – attract one another. On Earth, gravity gives weight to physical objects, and the Moon's gravity causes the ocean tides.

Need help in understanding accelaration due to gravity

The gravitational force is given by $F_g=\frac{GMm} {r^2}$ where symbols have their usual meaning. And the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of a body (uniform and spherical) is $a_g=\frac{GM …
