Space Objects: Gravity&Motion

There’s a new, engaging way to learn and apply your knowledge of science in a dynamic environment. Learn by doing and see the impact of being involved in what you learn.

Use a dynamic simulator to study how stars, planets and satellites move in space. Form systems with two, or three space objects. Discover why objects in space rotate around each other, and not crash.

• Determine the mass of each object that will be in the simulator.
• Determine the velocity of each object.
• Run the simulator to observe how the objects move in given conditions.
• Build different systems using two or three objects.
• Connect the observed motions with motion the Sun, planets and satellites in the Solar System.

App features:
• Discover how objects move in space in a very dynamic environment.
• Have planets crash into each other, or place them in stable orbits.
• Watch animations that explain about how objects move under gravity.
• Test your knowledge with interactive tasks and quizzes.
