About this Simulation

This gravitational force model allows learners to explore how gravitational attraction varies with mass and distance. By adjusting object masses and separations, students observe real-time changes in gravitational force magnitude and visualise the inverse-square law in action. The interactive environment supports experimentation and intuitive understanding of one of physics' fundamental forces.

Learning objectives: Understand how gravitational force depends on mass and distance | Apply Newton's law of universal gravitation through interactive exploration | Visualise and predict gravitational interactions between objects
