About this Simulation

This interactive simulation models the gravitational interaction between two masses. Learners can adjust mass values and distances to observe how gravitational force changes in real-time. The visualization displays force vectors, numerical values, and the relationship between separation distance and gravitational attraction, making abstract concepts tangible and measurable.

Learning objectives: Understand how gravitational force depends on mass and distance | Apply Newton's law of universal gravitation to predict force changes | Investigate the inverse square law relationship through variable manipulation
