Binary Star System (Barycenter Orbits)
DESCRIPTION
Interactive 3D simulation of a binary star system. Understand center of mass (barycenter), orbital periods, and universal gravitation.
RELATED VISUALIZATIONS
Universal Gravitation & Orbits
Interactive 3D space simulator for Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation. Launch satellites, observe elliptical orbits, and track kinetic and potential energy live.
Buoyancy & Archimedes Principle
Drop objects of different densities into fluid of adjustable density. Observe buoyant force, weight, and net force to predict whether objects sink, float, or remain neutrally buoyant — all in 3D.
Standing Waves in Pipes/Strings
Visualize harmonic resonance standing waves in strings and air columns (open and closed pipes). Calculate wavelength, frequency, and locate nodes and antinodes.
Doppler Effect 2D
Simulate sound wave propagation from a moving source. Calculate perceived frequencies for front and rear observers, and explore the Mach Cone (sonic boom) during supersonic flight.
