Venturi Effect & Flow Speed
Animated Venturi tube with flowing particles. A₁v₁ = A₂v₂ continuity equation and Bernoulli pressure drop visualization with manometer tubes.
Hydraulic Lift Simulator
Pascal's Principle in action: F₁/A₁ = F₂/A₂. Visualize how a small piston force creates a much larger output force. Shows MA = A₂/A₁.
Coefficient of Restitution Lab
Drop balls of 6 materials (superball to clay) and measure bounce height to calculate e = √(h_bounce/h_drop). Compare energy lost per bounce.
Newton's Third Law Action-Reaction Pairs
Explore 5 scenarios demonstrating F_AB = −F_BA: pushing a wall, book on table, rocket propulsion, Earth-Moon gravity, and swimming. Forces act on different objects.
2D Momentum Vector Addition
Adjust mass, speed, and angle of two objects to see 2D momentum vector addition. Tail-to-tip method shows total momentum conservation with x/y components.
Orbital Speed & Weightlessness
Animated satellite orbiting Earth. v_orbit = √(GM/r). Adjust altitude from LEO to GEO to see speed, period, and local g. Free-fall = apparent weightlessness.
Torsional Pendulum
Rotating disk with τ = −κθ restoring torque. Angular SHM: T = 2π√(I/κ). Real-time θ(t) graph with adjustable torsion constant, moment of inertia, and damping.
Resonance & Forced Oscillation
Amplitude vs driving frequency resonance curve. Maximum amplitude at ω_drive ≈ ω₀. Adjustable damping, spring constant, mass, and driving force.
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.
