2D Motion
| Rating: | |
| Type: | Course Related Materials |
Abstract: Learn about velocity and acceleration vectors. Move the ball with the mouse or let the simulation move the ball in four types of motion (two types of linear, simple harmonic, circle). See the velocity and acceleration vectors change as the ball moves.
Convergence of Vectors
| Rating: | |
| Type: | Course Related Materials |
Abstract: This module presents two common types of convergence, pointwise and norm, and discusses their properties, differences, and relationships with one another.
Double Wells and Covalent Bonds
| Rating: | |
| Type: | Course Related Materials |
Abstract: Explore tunneling and splitting in double well potentials. This classic problem describes many physical systems, including covalent bonds, Josephson junctions, and two state systems such as spin 1/2 particles and ammonia molecules.
Electric Field Hockey
| Rating: | |
| Type: | Course Related Materials |
Abstract: Play hockey with electric charges. Place charges on the ice, then hit start to try to get the puck in the goal. View the electric field. Trace the puck's motion. Make the game harder by placing walls in front of the goal. This is a clone of the popular simulation of the same name marketed by Physics ... More »

Lasers
| Rating: | |
| Type: | Course Related Materials |
Abstract: Create a laser by pumping the chamber with a photon beam. Manage the energy states of the laser's atoms to control its output.
Masses & Springs
| Rating: | |
| Type: | Course Related Materials |
Abstract: A realistic mass and spring laboratory. Hang masses from springs and adjust the spring stiffness and damping. You can even slow time. Transport the lab to different planets. A chart shows the kinetic, potential, and thermal energy for each spring.

Radio Waves & Electromagnetic Fields
| Rating: | |
| Type: | Course Related Materials |
Abstract: Broadcast radio waves from KPhET. Wiggle the transmitter electron manually or have it oscillate automatically. Display the field as a curve or vectors. The strip chart shows the electron positions at the transmitter and at the receiver.
Rectilinear motion
| Rating: | |
| Type: | Course Related Materials |
Abstract: Rectilinear motion is a subset of general motion.
Simplified MRI
| Rating: | |
| Type: | Course Related Materials |
Abstract: Is it a tumor? Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) can tell. Your head is full of tiny radio transmitters (the nuclear spins of the hydrogen nuclei of your water molecules). In an MRI unit, these little radios can be made to broadcast their positions, giving a detailed picture of the inside of your head.
The Moving Man
| Rating: | |
| Type: | Course Related Materials |
Abstract: Learn about position, velocity, and acceleration graphs. Move the little man back and forth with the mouse and plot his motion. Set the position, velocity, or acceleration and let the simulation move the man for you.
The Moving Man, older version
| Rating: | |
| Type: | Course Related Materials |
Abstract: Learn about position, velocity, and acceleration graphs. Move the little man back and forth with the mouse and plot his motion. Set the position, velocity, or acceleration and let the simulation move the man for you.
The Ramp
| Rating: | |
| Type: | Course Related Materials |
Abstract: Explore forces, energy and work as you push household objects up and down a ramp. Lower and raise the ramp to see how the angle of inclination affects the parallel forces acting on the file cabinet. Graphs show forces, energy and work.
Using vectors to model
| Rating: | |
| Type: | Course Related Materials |
Abstract: This unit introduces the topic of vectors. The subject is developed without assuming you have come across it before, but the unit assumes that you have previously had a basic grounding in algebra and trigonometry, and how to use Cartesian coordinates for specifying a point in a plane.
Vector Addition
