Projectile Motion Air Resistance

This simulation allows students to compare the motion of free falling objects with and without the influence of air resistance. Air resistance is the result of collisions of the object's leading surface with air molecules. On Earth, objects falling through the air usually encounter some sort of...

In this simulation, you can examine the motion of an object in freefall, and you can compare what happens with air resistance to what happens without air resistance.This is simply one-dimensional motion (vertical motion) under the influence of gravity. The blue ball moves under the influence of...

The Tracker Air Resistance Model asks students to explore air resistance of falling coffee cups by considering both viscous (linear) and drag (quadratic) models. Students see a video of falling cups and explore dynamical models that are overlayed on the video. It is distributed as a ready-to-run...

Projectile is a simple program to find the various parameters like final velocity, horizontal displacement and maximum height reached by a trajectory or a projectile. It also plots the path of the projectile and has support for initial height. You can use this application to study the projectile...

A program which simulates the motion of particles due to electric charge and gravitational force. Calculations are done in two dimensions, without care given to real world factors such as air resistance, although such functionality may be added later.


Platforms: Mac, BSD, Linux

This is a standards-based simulation for grade level 6-9, developed to help students visualize how total energy is conserved in a simple pendulum. It depicts a child swinging on a swing suspended from a stationary point. Students can drag the swing to different heights, then activate the motion....

This is a simple free fall simulation. Time vs. height fallen, and time vs. velocity are plot. Also includes a small verification at the end, for the calculated values of terminal velocity against that obtained from v = u + at. Coming up in Version 1b: inclusion of bounce, version 2a: inclusion...

Staker is a 3-D artillery warfare game that was inspired by Tank Wars and Scorched Earth, BASIC games I played many years ago. This is just a beta version, so it doesn't have everything in it that I would like. For instance, there is only one type of terrain to battle on. I wanted to release this...

Time for Scooby and Shaggy to snowboard and catch some big air on another remixed big air game. Game controls: Left / Right Arrow Keys – To start his motion while on ramp. Up Arrow Key – To increase his speed and height while going upward. Down Arrow Key – To increase his downward speed.


Platforms: Windows

Head over to the vent ramp and participate in a big air contest with Scooby Doo. Start Scooby’s motion until he can get off the ramp and when he is airborne, increase his speed and height, so is his downward speed. Repeat the steps to jump higher and higher. Your sense of coordination will help...
