Description
Visualize the gravitational force that two objects exert on each other. Adjust properties of the objects to see how changing the properties affects the gravitational attraction.
Sample Learning Goals
- Relate gravitational force to masses of objects and distance between objects.
- Explain Newton's third law for gravitational forces.
- Design experiments that allow you to derive an equation that relates mass, distance, and gravitational force.
- Use measurements to determine the universal gravitational constant.
