Friction

No Friction is a roll-a-ball-and-collect-the-dots puzzle game. In this simple puzzle game, you control a rolling ball that has to collect the green dots and make it to the end of each level. The ball can only be sent rolling if its sitting still, and it only stops when it hits a wall; it cant... Platforms: *nix

It is example from physics teacher toolbox. It can show body trajectory in real time, accelerated or time step fixed. It is possible to add air friction and wind. All parameters are adjustable. Window is elastic. So it is possible to stretch the window to all screen. Font size will increase... Platforms: Matlab

This Program Performs the following:(1) Animates the movement of a Billiard Ball on a table that has a surface friction (mu) and coefficient of restitution (e) for the sides and saves it as an AVI file.(2) Outputs series of rows and columns that displays the stream data of (Time),(X),(Y),(V), and...

Five scripts that demonstrate some aspects of the dynamics of rotating reference frames:1) rotation.m shows a very simple 3-d trajectory from inertial and rotating reference frames.2) Coriolis.m simulates a 2-d trajectory in a rotating frame that omits the centrifugal force. This allows several... Platforms: Matlab

Explore the forces at work when you try to push a filing cabinet. Create an applied force and see the resulting friction force and total force acting on the cabinet. Charts show the forces, position, velocity, and acceleration vs. time. View a Free Body Diagram of all the forces (including... Platforms: Mac

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 Ejs Quartic Oscillator model displays the motion of a bead moving without friction along a horizontal rod, while tied to two symmetric springs. Both the motion of the masses and the phase space plot are shown in the simulation. The natural length of the springs can be changed via textboxes.... Platforms: Mac

The EJS Slipping and Rolling Wheel Model shows the motion of a wheel rolling on a floor subject to friction. The simulation allows the user to change the initial translational and rotational velocities of the wheel, v and ?Ya*, the mass, radius, and mass distribution, R, m, and C of the wheel. By...

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

The Ejs Coin Rolling with and without Sliding model displays the dynamics of an initially rotating, but not translating, coin subject to friction. The simulation displays the motion of the coin as well as the velocity vectors for the surface of the coin. The initial angular velocity and the... Platforms: Mac

CarWorld is a small driving simulator/demo I use to test various things of interest. It was mostly developed when I was a student.

Circuit Aid contains a resistor circuit analysis tool that can build up to an 18 resistor series-parallel circuit. This tool will display voltage, amperage, and power used by every resistor in the circuit by means of mesh analysis. In addition, the program also contains a resistor color band... Platforms: Mac

RetainWall is a software mainly developed for the purpose of designing a concrete or masonry retaining wall. The wall may retain soil or other granular material. It analyses the stability of the wall based on the loads and resistances, and results in bearing pressure, sliding, overturning and... Platforms: Windows

Disc springs are used in many fields of the mechanical industry but, because of their geometry, it is very hard to make absolute predictions for their behaviour. Disc Spring Solver intends to help the disc springs users to foresee the performance of the springs that they are using by giving... Platforms: Windows

Qpfcalc was specially designed to be a front-end software for pfcalc that was written using the Qt toolkit. The pfcalc application is a pipe friction calculator that uses the Darcy-Weisbach equation. With pfcalc, you will be able to compute major, minor, and static losses for flow through pipes... Platforms: Windows
