Siphon Physics Simulator
Atmospheric pressure drives fluid over barrier. Adjust source/outlet heights and tube peak. v = √(2g·Δh). Warning at 10.3m atmospheric limit.
Relative Motion & Reference Frames
Compare same motion from ground frame vs moving observer frame. v_AB = v_A − v_B. Two cars animated side-by-side in both perspectives.
Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion
Prove Kepler's Laws visually. Alter orbital eccentricity and watch as planets sweep out perfectly equal geometric areas in equal times, regardless of whether they are slingshotting past perihelion or crawling through aphelion.
Rotational Kinematics & Angular Momentum
Interactive 3D rotational mechanics simulator. Drop point masses onto a spinning disk to observe angular momentum conservation and kinetic energy dissipation.
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.
Standing Waves & Harmonics Lab
Interactive 3D simulation of standing waves on a string. Visualize nodes, antinodes, wave superposition, and harmonics with live D3 interference analysis.
Simple Harmonic Motion
Explore mass-spring oscillations and energy transformations. Adjust mass, spring constant, and damping to observe how frequency, amplitude, and energy interchange between kinetic and potential forms.
Pendulum Oscillation
Visualize the simple pendulum and its harmonic motion. Investigate how length, gravity, and mass affect the period and frequency, complete with real-time energy bar charts.
Circular Motion & Centripetal Force
Visualize uniform circular motion with adjustable radius and speed. See how centripetal acceleration and net force always point toward the center, and explore the role of tension, gravity, and normal force.
Torque & Rotational Equilibrium
Interactively balance forces on a rigid lever by placing masses at different distances from the pivot. Observe torque magnitudes and directions, and understand the condition for rotational equilibrium.
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.
Bernoulli's Principle & Fluid Flow
Explore Bernoulli's principle stating that as fluid velocity increases, pressure decreases, derived from energy conservation in flowing fluids. Visualize the equation P + ½ρv² + ρgh = constant along a streamline. Understand applications including airplane lift (faster airflow over curved wing creates lower pressure), venturi effect in carburetors, and how the continuity equation A₁v₁ = A₂v₂ relates to Bernoulli's principle in explaining fluid behavior through varying pipe diameters.
