Difference Between Gravitation and Gravity

Hello fellows, I hope you all are doing great. In today’s tutorial, we will have a look at Difference Between Gravitation and Gravity. Both of these terms are related to the force applied on the body existing at the surface of the earth. Gravity is related to the two objects present on the earth and gravity is related to the earth and objects existing on the earth.

Sometimes these terms are considered as similar but these are not alike. In today’s post, we will have a detailed look at such parameters that relate to and compare gravity and gravitation. So let’s get started with the Difference Between Gravitation and Gravity.

Difference Between Gravitation and Gravity

Gravitation

• The gravitation is the force interacting among two bodies existing in this world.
• The force between two objects can be either repulsive or attractive.

F= (G⋅M1​⋅M2)/r2

• It is a weak force of attraction and repulsion
• The gravitation force between eh gases results in the creation of a star.
• it is a universal force
• it is a weak in nature
• to discuss masses of objects
• To calculate this force we needed masses of two bodies that are bearing force.
• Its formula is F=Gm1m2/R² in this equation G is the gravitation constant, m1 and m2 are masses of bodies and R is the distance between them.
• The value G is 6.67 x10^-11 Nm² / Kg²

 

Gravity

• The force exerted by the earth on the object positioned on the surface of the earth is called gravity.
• Gravity discusses the planets stars galaxies.

F = Mg

• Archimedes finds the center of gravity for a triangle.
• Vitruvius tell that the gravity of the body does not rely on the weight
• Gravity is discussed through general relativity theory.
• Blackhole is an example.
• It also explained with Newton law of universal gravitation
• Large size structure is based on gravity
• It has an infinite range
• Gravity tells about the weight of the body and the tides for the moon.

• It has its own field of vector
• This force is only attractive.
• it required for explanation just mass
• This force is stronger than the gravitation force.
• It is not a universal forces
• To find the value of this force we need just the mass of the body placed on the surface on the earth.
• Its mathematical expression is F=mg here g is constant and m is mass of the body.
• The value of g is g = 9.8 m/s²

Gravity vs Gravitation

Gravitation

• This is attractive or repulsive based on nature.
• It is a universal force
• It works in a radial direction from the mass
• It is a weaker force than gravity.
• It has direction and magnitude so known as physical force
• For infinities distance, this force is zero
• It needed two masses of objects to work

 Gravity

• It is a type of enticing energy.
• It is not used as a universal fore.
• This force is directed at the line connecting the earth’s center and the body’s center.
• It is a high-power force.
• It comes with its vector field.
• It needed a single mass
