Forces & Dynamics

5 interactive Physics simulations on forces & dynamics.

Physics · Forces & Dynamics Hooke's law and liquid pressure Left: a spring of stiffness k holds a hanging mass m, stretching by Δl = mg/k; pull the mass down and release it to see it oscillate... Ages 15–16
Physics · Forces & Dynamics Newton's second law – pulling a block on a surface Pull a block of mass m with force F along a horizontal or inclined surface with friction μ. Watch the force vectors (F, P, N, Fms), the... Ages 15–16
Physics · Forces & Dynamics Measuring the coefficient of kinetic friction on an inclined plane Virtual lab: a block slides from rest down a board inclined at angle α, and a digital timer with two light gates measures the time t... Ages 15–16
Physics · Forces & Dynamics Centripetal force – uniform circular motion on a string A mass m tied to a string of length R moves in uniform circular motion with angular speed ω (viewed from above). The velocity vector is... Ages 15–16
Physics · Forces & Dynamics Moments – principle of moments and couples A virtual lab with a rod pivoted at its centre and equally spaced holes: drag masses onto holes on either side and the rod tilts towards... Ages 15–16
