Free Fall Experiment
This simulation allows you to measure speed as a function of fall height. Free fall movement All objects on Earth are affected by gravity. If there were no friction with air, the speed of any object … 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
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
Kinetic Energy
Kinetic energy All moving objects have kinetic energy. The kinetic energy Ek of an object with a mass of ‘m’ and a velocity of ‘v’ can be calculated as follows. \[E_{ k }=\frac { 1 }{ … more
DC Motor 2
Motor An electric motor is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy by utilizing the force received by a conductor through which a current flows in a magnetic field. Electric motors are used in … more
Lorentzs Force (Electromagnetic swing)
Direction of the Lorentz force When a current flows through a conductor placed in a magnetic field, the conductor is forced to move. The direction of this force is perpendicular to the current and the magnetic … more
Moment of Inertia (3D)
● It’s a tube. The radius of the tube is outside: inside = 0.75: 1. There is no rolling friction. ● It’s a tube. The radius of the tube is outside: inside = 0.5: 1. There … more
Conservation of Mechanical Energy
Potential energy The potential energy of an object is the energy stored in an object or system. Denoted as Ep. Generally speaking, potential energy refers to potential energy caused by gravity and is proportional to an … more
In a potential energy measurement experiment, why should an object be lifted slowly at a constant velocity?
In a potential energy measurement experiment, why should an object be lifted slowly at a constant velocity? When we apply a force to an object and move it in the direction of the force, we say … more
