Welcome to PhET Interactive Simulations!
In this video, I’ll show you the sound features in the simulation Gravity Force Lab.
In Gravity Force Lab, you can explore the relationships between mass, distance, and gravitational force.
To begin, move a sphere to change distance OR change the mass using the Mass Slider. I’ll start by changing the distance.
//Grab m1 and move away and then toward m2, maxing out each side.
Do you hear the tone playing as the sphere moves closer to and farther from the other sphere? That tone represents the force as you make changes.
You’ll also hear a BUMP sound to let you know you’ve moved the sphere as far as you can or a WHOMP sound to let you know you’ve moved close to the other sphere.
Now, I’ll try changing the mass.
//Drag m1 slider up and down.
The same tone plays! This tone increases and decreases in pitch with the magnitude of the gravitational force between sphere 1 and 2 as it changes. The higher the pitch? The higher the gravitational force!
This simulation has an Extra Sound feature, which we can turn on through the Audio tab in the Preferences menu.
// Open Preferences Menu, click the Audio tab, and select Extra sounds. Close the menu (X)
Now, as we change the mass of sphere 1 or sphere 2, alongside the FORCE tone, you will hear a PERCUSSIVE TONE that changes pitch with the magnitude of the mass of the sphere you’re changing.
//Slowly minimize and max out mass 2 slider.
The pitch gets deeper as you make the mass larger.
You can also measure the distance between the spheres with this ruler,
//Pickup the ruler.
You’ll hear satisfying CLICKS as you line up the spheres.
//Move as if you’re lining up the ruler to measure the distance.
//Move ruler back to position, out of the way.
Explore different values for mass and distance to investigate their effect on the gravitational force!
