Gravity Force Lab

Play around with this interactive from PhET to learn more about factors that affect gravity!

Think about what you are learning about gravity: What is gravity? Can the strength of this force change? What causes the strength of this force to change?

Manipulate the variables within the interactive to learn more! Consider these changes:

• What happens to the force of gravity if the mass of the object changes?
• What happens to the force of gravity if the distance between the objects change?

Remember, gravity is a force that is measured in Newtons (N).
