About this Simulation

This simulation models the gravitational interaction between two masses in space. Learners can adjust initial positions, velocities, and masses to observe how gravitational forces govern orbital behaviour, collision dynamics, and system stability in real-time visual feedback.

Learning objectives: Understand Newton's law of universal gravitation and its effects on orbital motion | Explore how initial conditions affect two-body system trajectories | Analyze the relationship between mass, distance, and gravitational force
