Gravity Simulator
Drop objects and observe how gravity affects their motion
Pendulum Motion
Explore pendulum swings and how length affects period
Collision Lab
Experiment with elastic and inelastic collisions
Friction Ramp
See how friction affects objects sliding down a ramp
Gravity Simulator
Drop different objects and observe how they fall under gravity. Change the gravity strength and air resistance to see how it affects the motion.
Pendulum Motion
Adjust the pendulum length and mass to see how it affects the swing period. Observe the conservation of energy as the pendulum swings.
Collision Lab
Create balls with different masses and velocities, then watch them collide. Adjust elasticity to see the difference between elastic and inelastic collisions.
Friction Ramp
Adjust the ramp angle and friction coefficient to see how they affect how objects slide down the ramp. Compare different objects with varying friction.
