Spring Scales
A spring scale is a tool that measures the mass and gravity of an object using the spring’s elastic force. The spring of this scale is lengthened by gravity and shortened by elasticity. You can find out the gravity (or … more

Potential energy due to gravity
Potential energy due to gravity Lifting heavy objects increases the potential energy of the object. The amount of work done when lifting an object of mass m by height h can be obtained as (Potential energy by gravity) Ep(J) = … more
Gravity Train
Like this simulation, if you drill a hole in the earth and throw it in, you can send it to the other side of the earth. This simulation ignores the effects of friction. The earth is assumed to be a … more
Gravity difference on several planet (with the scale that used on Earth)
Let’s measure my weight on several planets with the scale that we used on Earth. Newton explaining the gravity mathematically Every object has a gravitational field around it and attracts surrounding objects. The strength of this gravitational field is proportional … more
Galilean Moons
* This simulation refered the link below for Jupiter’s satellite data. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galilean_satellite Galilean satellite Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, has many moons. Jupiter’s representative moons include Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Calisto. These four satellites are called Galileo … more
Principle of Satellite
How cannonball become an artificial satellite? a. Imagine that a cannonball falls in a parabolic curve. The trajectory the cannonball draws is actually part of an elliptical orbit centered around the Earth. The center of the Earth corresponds to the … more
Path of Satellite
From the perspective of an observer on Earth, the orbits of satellites with an orbiting period of less than 24 hours appear to move westward little by little with each turn. This phenomenon occurs because of the Earth’s rotation.
