Important Update: Touch support restored for interactive simulations
Touch support has been restored for all interactive simulations. Draggable elements now work properly on modern smartboards, Promethean boards, and Windows touchscreen devices.
Quick update for iOS users
Quick update for iOS users: all Physics Zone simulations now run smoothly on iPhones, iPads, and Macs after fixing the full-screen toggle issue.
Electrostatic Charging: Induction and Conduction Simulation
Use this simulation to visualize charging a metallic ball by induction and by conduction. Explore both positive and negative charging scenarios with clear visual feedback in an interactive electrostatics setup.
Newton’s Tube Simulation
This simulation models Newton’s tube experiment, showing how air resistance affects falling objects. By removing air from the tube and flipping it, users can observe how a feather and a pebble fall differently in air but identically in a vacuum—demonstrating that gravity accelerates all objects equally when air resistance is removed.
Updates to Free Fall Simulation
I updated the graphical user interface for easier interaction and better fitting in the browser. Also, I made a minor bug fix to the code.
One-Dimensional Elastic Collision Simulation
Demonstrate the conservation of linear momentum and kinetic energy in a one-dimensional elastic collision using this interactive physics simulation.
