Physics

From mechanics and electricity/magnetism to optics, waves and thermodynamics, you’ll experience physics with engaging simulations.

Featured Simulations for Physics

  • Mechanics: Projectile Motion

    In this lab, students will analyze the trajectory of a basketball free throw using the Digitizer.

  • Electricity and Magnetism: Photoelectric Effect

    This lab allows the students to study and visualize the photoelectric effect and asks them to measure the work function of different materials.

  • Optics: Lenses

    In this lab, students will explore lenses and their curvatures to study image construction.
