gravitational field

Other Definitions
gravitational field (dict)

The gravitational field is a field (physics) that causes bodies with mass to attract each other. If a small test particle of mass m is placed in a gravitational field, it experiences a force

\mathbf F

. The gravitational field,

\mathbf g

, is then defined as:

\mathbf g = \frac{\mathbf F}{m}

The field has units of force divided by mass; in SI, this is

N \cdot kg^{-1}

. For more information, see Gravity.
