Newton's First Law of Motion

If a very smooth ball is rolled down an inclined surface with zero friction, the ball will continue to roll indefinitely for an infinite time, in an attempt to reach to the same height on the opposite hill!

In the law of universal gravitation, Newton assumed that the force was proportional to the product of the two masses (m1m2) . While all scientific conjectures must be experimentally verified, can you provided arguments as to why this must be? (You may wish to consider simple examples in which any other form would lead to contradictory results.)
Check Your Understanding How would the speed and acceleration of a radiation-propelled spacecraft be affected as it moved farther from the Sun on an interplanetary space flight?
What is the acceleration due to gravity at an a altitude of 1000 km.
The acceleration due to gravity on Earth differs slightly from place to place, depending on topography (e.g., whether you areon a hill or in a valley) and subsurface geology (whether there is dense rock like iron ore as opposed to light rock like saltbeneath you.) The precise acceleration due to gravity can be calculated from data taken in an introductory physicslaboratory course. An object, usually a metal ball for which air resistance is negligible, is dropped and the time it takes to falla known distance is measured. Very precise results can be produced with this method ifsufficient care is taken in measuring the distance fallen and the elapsed time.
