Babban sauyi a tarihin fahimtar nauyi ya zo ne ta hannun Isaac Newton, wanda ya bayyana yadda nauyi yake da alaƙa da ƙa’idar gravity. Newton ya fahimci cewa ƙarfin da ke jawo abu ya faɗo ƙasa shi ne irin wannan ƙarfin da ke riƙe wata da sauran duniyoyi a cikin tsarin sararin samaniya. Wannan tunani ya zama muhimmin mataki wajen haɗa abin da ke faruwa a doron ƙasa da abin da ke faruwa a sararin samaniya a ƙarƙashin doka guda.

Newton ya bayyana cewa duk wani abu mai ɗauke da mass yana jan wani abu mai mass da wani ƙarfi da ake kira gravity.

Tsarin lissafin nauyi

A ilimin physics, ana lissafa nauyi ta hanyar amfani da wata muhimmiyar ka’ida da ke bayyana alaƙar da ke tsakanin mass na abu da kuma ƙarfin gravity da ke aiki a kansa. Wannan ka’ida tana nuna cewa nauyi yana ƙaruwa idan mass ya ƙaru ko kuma idan ƙarfin gravity ya fi ƙarfi. Haka kuma, idan ƙarfin gravity ya ragu, nauyi ma zai ragu ko da mass bai canja ba.

Wannan tsarin lissafi ya ba da damar auna nauyi daidai ta hanyar amfani da ƙididdiga maimakon zato. Hakan yana da matuƙar muhimmanci a fannoni kamar injiniyanci, kimiyyar sararin samaniya, da ilimin motsi, inda ake buƙatar sanin ainihin nauyin abu domin tsara aiki yadda ya dace.

Ta hanyar wannan ka’ida, masana sun fahimci cewa nauyi ba wani adadi ne na dindindin ba, domin yana canjawa gwargwadon ƙarfin gravity. Wannan shi ne dalilin da ya sa nauyin abu a duniyar wata ya bambanta da nauyinsa a doron ƙasa.
