The PHY111 lab is virtual: you will use the "Gravity Force Lab Simulation" to collect your experimental data as you would with real instruments. Examples of goals and a video depicting how to change the parameters of the experiment -- such as object mass and distance between objects -- are listed below. (a) Prove Newton's law of gravity. and/or (b) Determine the universal gravitational constant.
