7th Stone Mathematica - Ideas in Science
This site provides a wide array of multimedia activities on Waves, Vectors, Gravity, Algebra, Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, Statistics and Astronomy !
The Recession of the Moon
Article covering various areas including the basic physics of gravity and tides and the history of theoretical models for tides.
Black Holes: What Happens to a Star When It Dies
A star exists in a delicate balance between the crushing force of gravity, on the one hand, and the push of incredibly hot gases on the other.
Gravity-Assist Orbit
Planetary exploration vessels like Voyager I and Voyager II made use of propulsion maneuvers which gained energy from the planets and moons they passed.
Simple pendulum
A java animation that shows a pendulum moving with plots for kinetic and potential energy. Mass, length, gravity and period can be adjusted
The Altimetry Atlas
This site makes available mean sea surface and gravity anomaly maps of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans, computed from satellite altimeter data gathered by satellite.
Pendulum
Simple Pendulum simulator. Users can vary amplitude, mass, length and gravity of the system to see how it changes the time it takes the pendulum to swing (period).
Spaced Penguin!
Use the GPS (Giant Penguin Slingshot) to launch Kevin the penguin back on to his space ship. A fantastic game to illustrate projectile motion and the effects of gravity.
The Particle World
Applet simulating particles connected by springs in a 2D world. Includes gravity/electrostatic forces between particles, air resistance and more.
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.
