    Gravitational mass & inertial mass

    Also, Vanesch said: "Here, G is Newton's gravitational constant (like the 1/4 pi eps0 for electrostatics), and there's a minus sign which makes it opposite in action to electrostatics. M1 and M2 are the "gravitational charges" of the two bodies." 1. Why do we now have 2 bodies here? isn't...

    Gravitational mass & inertial mass

    ok. thanks alot. but now. 2 qns. What's the third type of mass? Can u answer my 'interesting question'? I still hv some difficulty understanding gravitational mass. it says in my book, that Newton came out with the theory of gravity, which says that any object with mass produces a force...

    Gravitational mass & inertial mass

    Hey, first time here. I'm currently reading up on Physics, preparing for a selection test by myself. I need some help in understanding Newton's gravitational mass and inertial mass. Are they different? I read that there are some difference, and these masses ARE slightly different. Any reason...
