Gravity Core

Constant Force. Gravitational acceleration defines the rate of descent for all objects in a vacuum.

  • 🌎 Earth Standard: 9.806 m/s 2 at sea level.
  • ⚖️ Mass Independent: In a vacuum, a feather and a hammer fall at the same rate.
  • 🌌 Orbital Mechanics: The foundation for Keplerian motion in your simulations.

FORCE CONSTANT: G
ACCELERATION:
9.80 m/s²

G-Force Vector

Relative Load. G-force measures the apparent weight of an object during rapid velocity changes.

  • 🏎️ Lateral G: Experienced during high-speed cornering.
  • 🚀 Longitudinal G: Felt during rapid takeoff or braking.
  • 🔬 Sensor Logic: Utilizing mobile accelerometers for real-time calculation.

Escape Vector

Gravitational Exit. Escape velocity is the Kinetic Threshold required to leave a planetary well forever.

  • 🚀 Threshold: 11.2 km/s required to leave Earth's influence.
  • 📉 Inverse Square: ve decreases as you move further from the center.
  • ⚛️ Energy Balance: Where Kinetic Energy exactly cancels Potential Energy.

CALCULATION: ESCAPE VELOCITY
VELOCITY ($v_e$):
11.18 km/s
TARGET: LEO_EXIT

Orbit Engine

Circular Balance. Low orbit speed is the Exact Equilibrium where gravity becomes a steering force rather than a collision.

  • 🛰️ Velocity: Required speed is roughly **7.8 km/s** for LEO.
  • 🔄 Period: One full revolution every **90 to 120 minutes**.
  • 📉 Altitude Rule: The higher the orbit, the **slower** the required speed.
