Motion Simulations

Select an experiment to open the interactive sandbox.

🎯

Motion in 2D

Interact with objects in a friction-rich environment. Apply forces, observe acceleration, and see how velocity vectors evolve in real-time.

🌊

Buoyancy & Archimedes

Apply Archimedes’ Principle. Control fluid density and object mass to understand floating and sinking in a dynamic fluid tank.

πŸš€

Projectile Motion Lab

Fire cannons and study parabolas by manipulating angle, mass, and velocity. Collect and analyze real-time trajectory data.

🌌

My Solar System

Build and orbit planets and stars in a N-Body gravity simulator. Observe Kepler's laws and orbit mechanics in action.

πŸ’₯

Collision Lab

Simulate perfectly elastic and inelastic impacts on an air-hockey table using Conservation of Momentum and Kinetic Energy.

➰

Mass-Spring Lab

Explore Hooke's Law and Simple Harmonic Motion. Experiment with gravity, damping, and energy conservation across different planetary environments.

πŸͺ

Kepler's Laws

Unlock the secrets of planetary motion. Visualize elliptic orbits, equal areas, and the harmony of worlds through Kepler's three fundamental laws.

🧬

Normal Modes

Explore coupled oscillators and wave propagation. Visualize how complex systems vibrate as a collection of simple, synchronized patterns.

🧱

Friction Laws

Observe the transition between static and kinetic friction. Push the crate to its limit and see how ΞΌ alters the force required to slide.

βš–οΈ

Laws of Motion

Master Newton's three fundamental laws. Explore inertia, F=ma, and action-reaction through interactive 3D simulations.

🌍

Gravitation

Drop objects on 9 different planets! Explore Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, free fall, and compare gravity across Mercury, Earth, the Moon, Jupiter & more.

⏱️

Time & Distance

Master D = S Γ— T interactively! Set speeds, watch vehicles travel, race two objects, use step-by-step mode, and predict outcomes in the Challenge mode.
