| 21. | This background shows there was basis for Newton to deny deriving the inverse square law from Hooke.
|
| 22. | His ideas about gravitation, and his claim of priority for the inverse square law, are outlined below.
|
| 23. | As a planet approaches, its gravity increases per the inverse square law, just as does its visible size.
|
| 24. | This lowers the neutron flux on any particular part of the chamber wall through the inverse square law.
|
| 25. | It enabled the transition from Kepler's third law of planetary motion, to the inverse square law of gravitation.
|
| 26. | In his notes, Newton wrote that the inverse square law arose naturally due to the structure of matter.
|
| 27. | :Sound normally fades faster than the inverse square law in a field because the sound is refracted upwards.
|
| 28. | In 1750, John Michell stated that magnetic poles attract and repel in accordance with an inverse square law.
|
| 29. | That explains the inverse square law.
|
| 30. | Thus the inverse square law does not apply except at large distances, to the overall behaviour of a tether.
