Exploration of the Law of Universal Gravitation with Modern Mathematical Tools

Authors: Oscar Gras Garzon

To demonstrate the law of universal gravitation, Newton started from a system of two bodies, the sun and a planet. In addition, he considered the sun to be at rest, and yet, according to the third law, it must be accelerated by the force exerted on it by the planet. In this article, the acceleration of the planet is recalculated, considering the center of mass of the two bodies at rest, using today's math tools.
