Distance of 1 pc(parsec)
Parallax When an object is close to me, you can use a ruler to measure the distance. But, it isn’t easy to measure when the object is away from me. In this case, how can you … more
Hypocycloid
A hypocycloid is a special plane curve generated by the trace of a fixed point on a small circle that rolls within a larger circle. If the radius of a large circle is \(R\), and the … more
Hypocycloid drawing tool
This is a tool that draws a hypocycloid figure made on a 3D printer. For a description of the hypocycloid, see here(link). 3D print data The gear ratios are 24 for the external gear and 17, … more
Free Fall Motion Analysis
Why do light and heavy objects fall at the same time? The change in speed due to gravity is the same for all objects because the force and inertia acting on an object are proportional to … more
Newton’s Cradle
Newton’s cradle Newton’s cradle consists of five iron balls, each hanging on two threads to prevent the ball from spinning. Originally Newton’s cradle was created to demonstrate Newton’s third law. If you collide a ball from … more
Boyle’s Law 2
Drag the standard weight and place it on top of the piston. You can download graph data. Boyle’s Law Doubling the pressure of a gas reduces the volume of the gas by 1/2, and increasing the … more
Mechanical Energy Conversion 2
Mechanical energy As the roller coaster descends from a high place, the height decreases, and the speed increases, so the potential energy decreases, and the kinetic energy increases. Therefore, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy … more
Moment of Inertia
This simulation assumes that there is rolling friction and no sliding friction. The cylinder and cube assumed the density of iron (7.874 g/cm³). Why does a rolling object go down slower than an object that slides … more
Hypocycloid 2
A hypocycloid is a special plane curve generated by the trace of a fixed point on a small circle that rolls within a larger circle. If the radius of a large circle is R, and the … more
Graph of Constant Velocity Motion
The distance covered by an object moving at a constant speed increases proportionally with time. If the distance is plotted against time on a graph, it will result in a straight line with a slope that … more
“Free falling” or “Thrown to the horizontal direction”
How to use the simulation Drag the ball with your mouse to free fall it in the air. Drag your mouse on the cliff to observe the parabolic motion. You can change the horizontal speed by … more
