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.
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.
One-Dimensional and Two-Dimensional Motion Simulation
This simulation demonstrates the difference between one-dimensional motion along the x-axis and two-dimensional motion using both x- and y-axes in a Cartesian system.
Old Simulations
These downloadable simulations were created with Adobe Flash/ActionScript. While no longer supported in browsers, they can still be run in Windows. They cover topics such as motion, collisions, electrostatics, generators, oscilloscopes, and stroboscopic effects.
Virtual Oscilloscope
A helpful dual-channel oscilloscope simulation for students and teachers. Connect to AC or DC generators, visualize real-time waveforms, and add two signals together to explore superposition — just as on a physical oscilloscope.
Free Fall Simulation
This simulation models the free fall of a ball, allowing users to measure the acceleration due to gravity by tracking time and position snapshots, and verifying the equation y = (1/2)gt².
Stroboscope Simulation
This simulation shows how a rotating disk appears under a stroboscope. Adjust rotation speed and flash frequency to observe stationary or slow-motion effects due to stroboscopic illusions.
