This lab uses Tracker video analysis software to measure and analyze the center of mass of a system of two pucks during a two-dimensional collision. Students measure the initial and…
Collision between two pendulums  [ Computer Program ]
  
Match Score:
100
Byline:
F. Hwang
Post a comment | Relations
This EJS model allows the user to simulate a collision between two pendulums. The user can change the initial angle and the mass of one of the pendulums. The simulation shows the…

A paper from the 2012 World Congress on Physics Education that describes how Singapore teachers have benefited from the OSP community's work. The article describes computer models…
Nine Ball Pool Model  [ Computer Program ]
  
Match Score:
100
Byline:
R. Kozlowski
Post a comment | Relations
The Nine Ball Pool Model is set up as a game of nine-ball (nine balls in a diamond formation with a cue ball), and the player may hit the balls in any order. With normal play (the…
Mini-Golf Model  [ Computer Program ]
