Universal Gravitation
Description
Universal Gravitation This tool is designed to be used by Physics students who wish to be introduced and deepen their understanding of gravity and the Universal Gravitation formula. The tool includes opportunities for students to engage in discovery learning using an intuitive gravity simulator, guided practice with immediate feedback, and tools to foster a community of learners building upon each other's knowledge.

After completing this WBLT, the user should ...
- Be able to understand the relationship between mass, distance, and the force of gravity on two objects
- Be able to apply their understanding of gravity to explain cosmological phenomena (i.e. How is it that a black hole has so much gravity; how can it bend light?)
- Be able to apply the Universal Gravitation equation to solve various related problems.
