Gravity Fun!
...a gravity simulation exercise
About the program:
Freeware by mervin bitikofer / Written in Visual
Basic
This program allows the user to places masses
on a two-dimensional space, and give them various mass and initial velocity.
Then you can observe as objects interact with each other gravitationally.
Some might orbit each other or they might just swallow each other
up! See if you can simulate a Sun-earth-moon system, or a binary star
system or a black hole! This should be fun for physics or astronomy
classes as they explore the inverse-square law of gravity.
