Kinetic Motorsports

This interactive simulation shows a stone block lying at rest on an inclined plane. Initially, the component of gravity along the plane surface is exceeded by the force of static friction. The slope of the ramp can be increased or decreased, allowing students to see the exact point when the... Platforms: Mac

The Block and Spring on an Inclined Plane model shows the dynamics of a mass-spring system sliding on an inclined plane with static and kinetic friction. It is a supplemental simulation for "Damped oscillations and equilibrium in a mass-spring system subject to sliding friction forces" in the... Platforms: Mac

libchamplain is a C library created to provide a GTK+ widget to display rasterized maps. Here are some key features of "libchamplain": ?*A* Display a map (OpenStreetMap Mapnik) ?*A* Tiles are downloaded and cached ?*A* You can drag to move (la Google Maps) ?*A* without or with kinetic...

The EJS Angular Acceleration of a Contracting System model shows a mass and pulley system to illustrate what happens when a rotating system contracts. When the centripetal force has contracted a rotating system to half its initial radius then: (1) The tangential velocity has doubled, (2) The... Platforms: Mac

The Ejs TPT Ladder Demonstration model displays the statics and dynamics of a ladder leaning against a wall. The standard (textbook) statement of this problem assumes that there is no frictional force between the wall and the ladder, but a frictional force between the ground and the ladder. In...

The Molecular Dynamics Adiabatic Piston model shows two gas samples within a horizontal cylinder that is divided by an insulated piston that moves without friction. It is a supplemental simulation for an article by Eric Gislason "A close examination of the motion of an adiabatic piston" in the... Platforms: Mac

The Ejs Platform on Two Rotating Cylinders model displays the model of a platform resting on two equal cylinders are rotating with opposite angular velocities. There is kinetic friction between each cylinder and the platform. The separation between the cylinders and the coefficient of kinetic... Platforms: Mac

A realistic mass and spring laboratory. Hang masses from springs and adjust the spring stiffness and damping. You can even slow time. Transport the lab to different planets. A chart shows the kinetic, potential, and thermal energy for each spring. Platforms: Mac

The Biochemical Abstract Machine (BioCham) is a modelling environment for systems biology, with some unique features for static analysis or for inferring unknown model parameters from temporal logic constraints. BioCham is mainly composed of : a rule-based language for modeling biochemical... Platforms: Mac

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... Platforms: Mac

The STP LJ Thermal Equilibrium program simulates the interaction between two systems of Lennard-Jones particles brought into thermal contact. The purpose of this simulation is to explore the nature of thermal equilibrium and the relation, if any, between the kinetic and potential energies of two... Platforms: Mac

Firefly is a kinetic novel, which means there are no choices or multiple endings to unlock. In return though, the game should take about nine hours to finish. All art is done in 1280x720, and all backgrounds, sprites, CGs and music are custom-made. The game engine is also custom-made and includes... Platforms: *nix

The Confined Lennard-Jones System is an idealized statistical mechanics model that simulates a two-dimensional system of particles confined to a box with a constant temperature thermal reservoir at one end and a movable piston at the other. Particles in this model have unit mass and interact... Platforms: Mac

Investigate collisions on an air hockey table. Set up your own experiments: vary the number of discs, masses and initial conditions. Is momentum conserved? Is kinetic energy conserved? Vary the elasticity and see what happens. * Draw "before-and-after" pictures of collisions. * Construct... Platforms: Mac

The Confined Hard Disk System is an idealized statistical mechanics model that simulates a two-dimensional system of hard disks confined to a box with a constant temperature thermal reservoir at one end and a movable piston at the other. Slow-moving particles are color-coded as blue and fast... Platforms: Mac
