The greater the force acting on an object, the greater the change in motion. If a force is applied in the opposite direction of an object’s motion, the speed will decrease. If a force is applied in the same direction of an object’s motion, the speed will increase. Whenever an object speeds up, slows down, or changes direction, a force must have been involved. Forces are responsible for all changes in the motion of objects. The motion of an object can change by speeding up, slowing down or changing direction.įorces- Everything-anything-that pushes, pulls, squeezes, stretches ,or twists. *We always respect the copyright of the content of the author and always include the original link of the source article.If the author disagrees, just leave the report below the article, the article will be edited or deleted at the request of the author.Motion- Motion is the movement of objects from one location to another. *We just want readers to access information more quickly and easily with other multilingual content, instead of information only available in a certain language.

By trying not to destroy everything this time. You just have to recreate another one to relaunch new experiences. Congratulations! Your universe has reached critical mass and has collapsed. To be convinced of this, it suffices to think of black holes: these are so massive that the photons, if they pass too close, end up being swallowed up by “falling” into them.Īnd what if, by the way, if you have fun creating extremely heavy objects in Gravity and that they meet? Well the famous fabric of space-time is tearing apart and this gives rise to a black hole.

Gravity, which works on any browser (if it’s recent enough, of course) is a good tool to remember that gravity affects everything and that it’s not just on Earth: moons, planets, galaxies – it participates in their structuring – particles and even light. But when a massive object distorts spacetime significantly, it can then influence the trajectory of smaller objects, if those are close enough. For example, two celestial bodies of different masses have distinct effects on space-time. How far can you go without everything collapsing?Īs soon as a particular event appears in your “pocket universe”, the site displays explanations. Outraged Gravity, other experiments are proposed, around the sound and of the picture. The site is supported by the NSTMF, the National Science & Technology Medals Foundation, which aims to build inclusive communities dedicated to science, technology, engineering and mathematics across the United States. You won’t escape collisions either.Īll this is obviously a pretext to discover a little celestial mechanics. Or, if there is a noticeable gap, the smaller one will orbit around the larger one. Sometimes two objects of close mass will produce a binary system. Very quickly, you will realize that depending on the size of your objects, you will not observe the same interactions, trajectories and even effects on the fabric of space-time. So try to create binary systems or place a smaller body in orbit around a more massive star. Like some kind of deity, Gravity allows you to make more or less massive objects appear from the “void” as you wish. This time, you are no longer a luminous star engaged in nucleosynthesis, but space itself. Tired of playing being a star? Do you want to change scale? So, try the experience Gravity, a little browser game to learn about gravity. This is all just a pretext to teach you a few things about gravity. A small online game gives you the ability to create more or less massive objects in a universe simulator, accessible via the web browser.
