Gravity Well Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : ILS-FAM-11694
Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Gravity Well (Product ID: 11694) as part of its forces and motion range. It is a flexible sheet on a collapsible frame that models how massive bodies curve space and pull on smaller ones.
Quick Answer
A heavy mass placed on the sheet makes a dip, and balls rolled across it curve towards the mass or circle round it. The heavier the central body, the deeper and wider the well, just as the Sun's large mass holds the planets in orbit. Students can model orbits, the coalescence of stars, the formation of orbital systems and how orbital period changes with distance from a star. It is an analogy: the sheet uses Earth's gravity to stand in for curved space-time.

Where This Is Used
Used in gravitation, orbit and astronomy lessons. Pair it with the Exploring Newton's First Law Inertia Kit (Product ID: 11695), which shows that without an inward force a moving marble travels in a straight line. Please confirm the sheet size and the balls and masses included at quotation. Browse the full Forces and Motion range or related Physics Lab Equipment products.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is it made of?
A flexible sheet stretched on a collapsible frame.
What does a heavier central mass do?
It makes a deeper and wider well.
Can it show orbital period changes?
Yes, balls orbiting further out take longer to go round.
