Parallel Axis Theorem Visualizer
Visualize how the moment of inertia scales quadratically as the rotation axis shifts away from the center of mass. Interactively drag the pivot point along a rigid rod and plot the Md² penalty.

Rolling vs Sliding Friction (Incline Race)
Compare the translational acceleration of a solid cylinder, a hollow cylinder, and a frictionless sliding block down an incline. Visualize how rotational inertia steals kinetic energy from linear motion.
