Kinetic Energy Interceptor

This interactive simulation allows students to collide two objects and investigate whether momentum and/or kinetic energy are conserved in the collision process. To keep things simple, the simulation involves an isolated system where the objects collide along a single line. Use the sliders to set...

Learn about conservation of energy with a skater dude! Explore different tracks and view the kinetic energy, potential energy and friction as he moves. Build your own tracks, ramps and jumps for the skater.

The STP TemperatureMeasurementLJ program simulates the exchange energy between a demon and a system of particles interacting via the Lennard-Jones potential. The program shows the kinetic temperature of the system as a function of time, and the energy distribution of the demon. The purpose of...

Welcome to the nanoworld of the Pixel Paradox universe of 2099 AD. Geo Gizmo is a pollution-free nanodevice that acts as a perpetual-motion machine to generate electricity from artificial gravitons in motion above a quantum energy plate, without any loss of kinetic energy. However, not only is it...
