About this Simulation

This gravitational force model allows learners to explore how objects interact through gravity. Adjust object properties, observe force vectors, and examine how gravitational attraction changes with distance and mass. Real-time graphs display position, velocity, and acceleration relationships.

Learning objectives: Understand Newton's law of universal gravitation and how mass and distance affect gravitational force | Analyse motion graphs to interpret the relationship between force, acceleration, and velocity | Predict and verify gravitational interactions through interactive modelling
