Direction of earth’s gravity
Scientific definitions of ‘up’ and ‘down’ We live on the surface of the Earth and are always under the influence of its gravity. When we let go of an object, it falls “down,” and when we … more
Free fall
Free Fall Experiment 2
This simulation allows you to measure speed as a function of fall height. You can measure the speed at two locations and change the ruler’s orientation. Free fall movement All objects on Earth are affected by … more
Gravity Simulator
This simulation … Applied a geocentric coordinate system. Air friction is ignored. Covers fall and orbital motion due to Earth’s gravity. (However, the same can be applied to other celestial bodies.) Gravity Objects with mass exert … more
Free Fall Experiment
This simulation allows you to measure speed as a function of fall height. Free fall movement All objects on Earth are affected by gravity. If there were no friction with air, the speed of any object … more
General Relativity of Gravity
* After setting the small object’s mass, position, initial velocity, and initial direction of movement, turn on the ‘Run’ checkbox to start the simulation. * The gravitational constant of the celestial body were assumed to be … more
Free Fall Motion Analysis
Why do light and heavy objects fall at the same time? The change in speed due to gravity is the same for all objects because the force and inertia acting on an object are proportional to … more
Analysis of Free Fall Motion
* Please refer to the text below for how to make a graph. Free fall motion If you hold the ball in your hand and release it, it will fall. In the absence of air resistance, … more
