We considered the problem of the proportionality of inertial and gravitational masses in classical mechanics. We found that the kinetic energy of a material mass point m in a circular motion with a constant angular velocity around another material point M depends only on its gravitational mass. This fact, together with the known result that the straight line is a circumference with an infinite radius, allowed us to prove the proportionality between the inertial and gravitational masses.
