Introduction
Every object sets up a gravitational field around itself due to its mass. When two objects enter each other’s gravitational fields, they will be attracted towards each other.
Hence, a gravitational field is a region of space in which any object that lies in it experiences a gravitational force towards the object that creates the field, due to its mass. This is a Lab that allows the exploration of this in a one dimensional space.


Interesting Fact
This app produce real numbers to coincident with the real world data.
