How To Use gravitational mass In A Sentence
- The gravitational mass and the inertia mass are not equal in the microscopic quantum behavior.
- In fact, the inertial mass of any object exactly equals the gravitational mass of the object.
- Passive gravitational mass is a measure of the strength of an object's interaction with the gravitational field.
- Thus, the theory postulates that inertial and gravitational masses are fundamentally the same thing.
- In Newton's theory, all three of these masses - the inertial mass, the active and passive gravitational masses - are equivalent.
