1 how do things move without contact?
1.0.1 inverse square law
inverse square law states that if the distance is increased by a factor of \(a\), then the force is decreased by a factor of \(a^2\).
\[F\propto{\frac{1}{r^2}}\]
1.1 gravitational

\[g=\frac{GM}{r^2}\]
\[F_g=mg=\frac{GMm}{r^2}\]
\[E_g=mg\Delta{h}\]
1.1.1 kepler’s law
kepler’s law states that the period of orbit square divided by the radius of orbit cubed is a constant.
\[\frac{T^2}{r^3}=\frac{4\pi^2}{GM}\]
