Projectile Motion visualization thumbnail
AP PHYSICS 1

Projectile Motion

Visualize 2D projectile trajectories with adjustable launch angle, initial velocity, and gravitational acceleration. Observe how each parameter affects range, maximum height, and time of flight in real time.

Simple Harmonic Motion visualization thumbnail
AP PHYSICS 1

Simple Harmonic Motion

Explore mass-spring oscillations and energy transformations. Adjust mass, spring constant, and damping to observe how frequency, amplitude, and energy interchange between kinetic and potential forms.

Circular Motion & Centripetal Force visualization thumbnail
AP PHYSICS 1

Circular Motion & Centripetal Force

Visualize uniform circular motion with adjustable radius and speed. See how centripetal acceleration and net force always point toward the center, and explore the role of tension, gravity, and normal force.

Torque & Rotational Equilibrium visualization thumbnail
AP PHYSICS 1

Torque & Rotational Equilibrium

Interactively balance forces on a rigid lever by placing masses at different distances from the pivot. Observe torque magnitudes and directions, and understand the condition for rotational equilibrium.

Buoyancy & Archimedes Principle visualization thumbnail
AP PHYSICS 1

Buoyancy & Archimedes Principle

Drop objects of different densities into fluid of adjustable density. Observe buoyant force, weight, and net force to predict whether objects sink, float, or remain neutrally buoyant — all in 3D.

Velocity-Time Graph Explorer visualization thumbnail
AP PHYSICS 1

Velocity-Time Graph Explorer

Explore kinematic motion through an interactive velocity-time graph. Adjust initial velocity and acceleration to see how the v-t graph changes in real time, with a 3D ball moving along a track. Identify slope as acceleration and shaded area as displacement.

Free Body Diagram Builder visualization thumbnail
AP PHYSICS 1

Free Body Diagram Builder

Interactively build free body diagrams for a block on a flat surface or inclined plane. Adjust mass, applied force, friction coefficient, and incline angle to see all force vectors update in 3D. Watch the net force and acceleration calculate in real time via Newton's Second Law.

Conservation of Energy visualization thumbnail
AP PHYSICS 1

Conservation of Energy

Watch a ball roll down a curved ramp as kinetic and potential energy interchange in real time. Adjust mass, release height, and friction to see how energy distributes across KE, PE, and thermal bars. Discover why total mechanical energy is constant without friction.

Elastic & Inelastic Collisions visualization thumbnail
AP PHYSICS 1

Elastic & Inelastic Collisions

Fire two balls toward each other and observe elastic, inelastic, and perfectly inelastic collisions. Adjust masses, initial velocities, and the coefficient of restitution. Before-and-after momentum and kinetic energy tables verify conservation laws in real time.

Pendulum Oscillation visualization thumbnail
AP PHYSICS 1

Pendulum Oscillation

Explore a 3D pendulum with adjustable length, mass, initial angle, gravity, and damping. Watch the θ(t) graph update live and discover that period depends only on string length and gravity — not mass. Try Moon, Mars, and Jupiter gravity settings!

Newton's Second Law visualization thumbnail
AP PHYSICS 1

Newton's Second Law

Launch a block across a 3D track and watch F = ma play out in real time. Adjust applied force, mass, and kinetic friction to see how each affects acceleration. A live v(t) graph builds as the block moves. Verify that F_net = ma with the on-screen HUD.

Friction on Inclined Plane visualization thumbnail
AP PHYSICS 1

Friction on Inclined Plane

Drag the incline angle and watch force arrows update live: normal force, gravity components, and friction. Computes the critical angle where the block begins to slide. When the angle exceeds μₛ, the block slides with kinetic friction. Shows mg sin θ, N, and static vs kinetic friction with real-time labels.
