Turning Effect due to Non-Perpendicular Forces
When applying the principle of moments to calculate the magnitude of a force creating a turning effect, where the force is not perpendicular to the length of the object, there are...
DC Circuits Practice
The simulation below allows students to practise calculating potential differences and currents of a slightly complex circuit, involving three different modes that can be toggled...
Representing a Longitudinal Wave Graphically
I modified an existing simulation to demonstrate how the displacement of particles along a longitudinal wave can be represented in graphical form. Essentially, one would have to...
Lift on an Aerofoil: Coanda Effect, not Bernoulli
The commonly taught explanation (for people from my generation) for how airplanes generate lift often relies on the Bernoulli Principle, which states that faster airflow over the...
Interactive Heating and Cooling Curves
Heating and cooling curves are graphical representations that show how the temperature of a substance changes as heat is added or removed over time. They illustrate the behavior...
