Source sentences:
text: This observation means that the force of gravity on an object at the Earth's surface is directly proportional to the object's mass.
text: For so-called "Stokes' drag" the force is approximately proportional to the velocity, but opposite in direction:
text: Force is proportional to acceleration, which is defined as the rate of change of velocity.
text: Newton's law of universal gravitation states that the gravitational force between two objects is proportional to the mass of both objects, divided by the square of the distance between the objects.
text: Hooke's law states that the force should be proportional to the extension.
text: In particular, Halley asked Newton the following question: what kind of curve would a planet describe in its orbit around the Sun if it were acted upon by an attractive force that was inversely proportional to the square of its distance from the Sun?
text: In particular, since Newton's eight definitions and three laws indicate that forces are proportional to mass and to acceleration, and since mass—or the quantity of matter, a concept Newton transformed from its Cartesian origins, where it was understood as a measure of a body's volume—and acceleration are both quantities that can be measured, Newton gives us a means of measuring forces.
text: Coulomb's law quantifies the electrostatic force between two particles by asserting that the force is proportional to the product of their charges, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
