The reason is because that's how gravity behaves.
Furthermore and in addition, if you take a big yellow legal pad and a bunch of
#2 pencils, and play with the hypothesis that closed orbits are the result of the
mutual attractive force of a gravitational field, you discover that if the effect of
the distance on the gravitational force is anything different from 1/D2, then
closed orbits are impossible.
Since we see closed orbits all around us, in the solar system and elsewhere,
we either have to accept the inverse-square law of gravity, or else we have to
toss the whole theory of gravity and find something else.

How do you find the distance between two endpoints on a graph?
-- take the difference between the 'x' values of the two points; square it -- take the difference between the 'y' vales of the two points; square it -- add the two squares together -- take the square root of the sum The result is the distance between the two points.
How many square reet dose it take to make a yard?
Zero. Square feet are a measure of area. A yard is a measure of length/distance.
How do you find the distance between two points on a coordinate grid?
-- Square the difference between their 'x'-values. -- Square the difference between their 'y'-values. -- Add the two squares. -- Take the square-root of the sum. The result is the distance between the points.
What is the distance between -7 5 and -6 -4?
The idea is to use the Pythagorean theorem: take the square root of (square of the difference in x-coordinates + square of the difference in y-coordiantes).
What is the measurement of a line segment?
You take the two endpoints of a line segment, and use the distance formula on it. The distance formula is the square root of (x1-x1)2 + (y1-y2)2
How does Yamane's formula look like?
you take the horizontal distance between the points and square it, then add that to the square of the vertical distance. Now take the square root of the sum. You are really just making a triangle an using the pythagorean theorem.Read more: What_does_the_distance_formula_look_like

What is the walking distance from London Victoria to America square?
It would take at least 1 hour.

If a planet has less gravity will it take longer to revolve around the sun?
No, it is the sun's gravity that affects the planets revolutions. The planet's distance from the sun is also very important in the time it takes to revolve around the sun.
Distance from origin to point?
The origin on a graph is the point (0,0).You can find the distance to a point by applying the Pythagorean theorem:Square the x coordinate and add it to the square of the y - coordinate of the point.Now take the square root of your answer.The result is the straight line distance from the origin to the point.
What is the distance between -7 5 and -6 -4?
The idea is to use the Pythagorean theorem: take the square root of (square of the difference in x-coordinates + square of the difference in y-coordiantes).
What two factors affect the amount of gravity?
Gravity is affected by the masses of the objects, and the distance between them (really the distance between their centers). Greater mass increases the force of gravity. Greater distance decreases the force of gravity.
How do you figure out distance to second base on 60 ft bases?
It's about 84.9 ft. U take the amount of feet between a base and square it, multiply by 2, and take the square root of it... This is the pythagorus theorem
What is CG range?
it is distance between forward and aft center gravity limits. if your center of gravity right before take off is between forard limit and back limit, its within "center of gravity range". center of gravity can move if you load plane diffrently, or when you use fuel or drop bombs. the range is a safe zone of its movement.
