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…

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…
Person Landing After a Jump  [ Computer Program ]
  
Match Score:
