Physics Simulations

Journey through the Earth - A physics simulation proves useful at the Critical Section.

Files to Download: (My favorites are in bold)
Computer Simulation: Projectile Motion - A projectile is fired. This program plots its path on the X, Y, and time axes.
Computer Simulation: Relative Motion - Helps to visualize and understand the concept of relative motion.
Computer Simulation: Inclined Plane - Illustrates forces acting on a box on an inclined plane, and simulates their resulting accelerations. Includes friction, normal force, gravity and user-defined force.
Computer Simulation: Gravity - Simulates an object orbiting a planet, as well as tunneling through the planet. Features an all-graphical interface!
Computer Simulation: Banked Turn - Calculates the friction coefficient required to keep a car from sliding on a banked turn.
Computer Simulation: Conservation of Energy - A visualization of this concept including kinetic energy, gravitational and spring potential energy, and heat.
Computer Simulation: Conservation of Momentum - Three projectiles with customizable mass and relative velocity propel a platform using conservation of momentum.
Computer Simulation: Boxes on Spring - Two boxes are stacked, and the bottom box is attached to a spring. If the force on the top box is greater than the maximum force of static friction, it will slip.
Computer Simulation: Human Bicep - A model of the internal forces of the human bicep.
Computer Simulation: Resonating Swing Version #1 - A swinging pendulum can be made to resonate by applying an external force. Here, the user sets the time after the swing reaches a maximum to begin applying the force.
Computer Simulation: Resonating Swing Version #2 - Like version #1, but you set a fixed interval at which the force is applied, regardless of the swing's current period.
Computer Simulation: Ideal Gas - Simulates randomly moving ideal gas particles in a container with gravity, and shows the effect of buoyancy on a balloon.
Computer Simulation: Charged Particles - Models the interaction of electric charges and clusters of charges.

msvbvm60.dll - The Visual Basic 6 runtime library. If the simulations won't run, download this file and put it in the same directory as the simulations.
