The Particle World
Applet simulating particles connected by springs in a 2D world. Includes gravity/electrostatic forces between particles, air resistance and more.
RLC Resonance Circuit
Java applet demonstrating a RLC resonance circuit where the resistance, capacitance and inductance are change along with the frequency.
Falling Parachutes and Air Resistance 2
A simulation of two masses (may be altered) falling under the influence of gravity while attached to different sized parachutes.
Measurements on a Superconductor
Graph of resistance against temperature for YBCO, and two short movies of a magnet levitating above a superconductor. Great fun to see the movies - understanding how this happens is more challenging
Voltage Circuit Simulator
This exercise will help you determine the relationship between voltage (V), amperage (I) and resistance (R). This relationship is called Ohm's Law
Friction
Frictional resistance to the relative motion of two solid objects is usually proportional to the force which presses the surfaces together as well as the roughness of the surfaces. Since it is the ...
Explorescience: Golf Range
This activity lets you study the projectile range equation in a "golf" like setting. Vary the velocity and angle of the ball to get a hole in one. Add air resistance for more of a challenge. Could ...
Projectile Motion
A very good little applet illustrating projectile motion with and without air resistance.
IPPEX Interactive Electricity and Magnetism
Animated tutorial on basic electricity and magnetism including static charge, moving charge, voltage, resistance, and current. Requires flash.
Explorescience: Freefall Lab - Terminal Velocity
Vary initial conditions and see various plots as a released ball falls under gravity and air-resistance. Good for examining graphs of motion - need to vary graph axes & scaling to give suitable ...
