Investigate the universal gravitational pull that attracts any two masses in the cosmos. Adjust sphere masses, slide them along a distance scale, and compare the mutual gravitational forces.
🎮 Try It
• Drag Mass 1 and Mass 2 sliders to change their weights from light objects to massive spheres.
• Drag the figures to pull the spheres closer together or further apart, watching the force arrows grow or shrink.
• Check Force values and Scientific notation to read the exact pull in Newtons exerted by each mass.
🎯 Your Mission
Make Mass 1 ten times heavier than Mass 2, then look closely at the two force arrows to compare their sizes.
🌍 Real-World Connection
Even though the Earth is far more massive than the Moon, the gravitational force the Moon exerts on Earth is exactly equal in strength to Earth's pull on the Moon.
