Calculadora de Força Gravitacional

The Gravitational Force Calculator uses Newton's law of universal gravitation, F = G·m₁·m₂/r², to determine the attractive force between two masses. The gravitational constant G (6.674×10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg²) is fixed, and the user inputs the masses (in kg) and distance (in meters) between the centers of the bodies. The result is displayed in newtons (N) with adjustable precision.

This tool is useful in educational settings, such as high school or college physics, to calculate gravitational forces between planets, satellites, or everyday objects. For example, you can estimate the attraction between Earth and the Moon, or between two people close together. It can also be used in aerospace engineering projects or orbital simulations.

Important considerations: the formula assumes point masses or spherically symmetric bodies, and is inaccurate for irregular objects or very close distances where mass distribution matters. Additionally, gravitational force is extremely weak for small masses; in practice, it is only significant for celestial bodies. Ensure units are correct and remember that G is very small, requiring precise data entry.

The calculator does not account for relativistic effects or varying gravitational fields. For orbital or trajectory calculations, use specific orbital dynamics tools. The result is a vector attractive force, always positive (attraction).
