Acceleration Due to Gravity for Different Masses and Radii

Acceleration Due to Gravity for Different Masses and Radii

Experiment description

This experiment demonstrates how the acceleration due to gravity g depends on the mass and radius of a celestial object. By setting different values of mass and radius, the value of g changes according to the relation g = GM / R2. Presets such as Earth, Moon, Mars, and Jupiter can be used to compare how gravity varies on different planets and moons.
