Atwood Machine in Fluid Model  [ Computer Program ]
  
Match Score:
100
Byline:
W. Christian and J. José Goncalves
View comments | Relations | Standards
The Atwood Machine in a Fluid model shows two masses connected by strings and pulleys immersed in a water tank. Each mass is acted on by gravitational, buoyant, and drag forces.…
A Rolling Ball on a Merry-go-round  [ Computer Program ]
  
Match Score:
100
Byline:
A. Titus
Post a comment | Relations
The Video Analysis of a Rolling Ball on a Merry-go-round uses the Tracker video analysis tool to measure and analyze the motion of a ball rolling with constant velocity on a rotating…
Relative Motion of Two Carts  [ Computer Program ]
  
Match Score:
100
Byline:
A. Titus
View comments | Relations
This lab uses Tracker video analysis software to measure and analyze the motion of two carts. Cart 1 has constant acceleration, and Cart 2 has constant velocity. Students are asked…
Tabletop Projectile Model  [ Computer Program ]
  
Match Score:
100
Byline:
W. Christian
Post a comment | Relations | Standards
The Tabletop Projectile model simulates the frictionless motion of a ball shot from a tabletop by a spring-gun. The initial velocity and the table height can be set and multiple…
Slash-Dot System Model  [ Computer Program ]
  
Match Score:
100
Byline:
J. Pav
Post a comment | Relations
The Slash-Dot Model simulates a massive line segment and massive point rotating about one another due to gravity in a 2-dimensional plane. The simulation tracks the obits of the line…
Newton's Cradle Applet  [ Computer Program ]
  
Match Score:
100
Byline:
F. Hwang and L. Wee
View comments | Relations
Newton's cradle, named after Sir Isaac Newton, is a device that demonstrates conservation of momentum and energy via a series of swinging spheres. A typical Newton's cradle…
Motion in a Harmonic Central Force Model  [ Computer Program ]
  
Match Score:
100
Byline:
J. Aguirregabiria
Post a comment | Relations
The Motion in a Harmonic Central Force model displays the dynamics of an orbiting mass due to a harmonic force (a quadratic potential energy function). The simulation displays the…
Elastic Bounce on an Inclined Plane Model  [ Computer Program ]
  
Match Score:
100
Byline:
J. Aguirregabiria
Post a comment | Relations
The Elastic Bounce on an Inclined Plane model can be used to illustrate the adiabatic theorem in classical mechanics. A particle slides without friction along an inclined plane. The…
Falling U-shaped Chain Model  [ Computer Program ]
  
Match Score:
100
Byline:
W. Christian
Post a comment | Relations
The Falling U-Shaped Chain model simulates the dynamics of a discrete falling chain with total length L and n links. Each link is acted on by the force of gravity mg and by the…
Rotation About A Fixed Axis Model  [ Computer Program ]
  
Match Score:
100
Byline:
W. Christian
Post a comment | Relations | Standards
The Rotation About a Fixed Axis example computes the angular momentum of a rigid rectangular box attached to a rotating axle. The fixed axis is in the z-direction. Users can tilt the…
