Physics Simulations Of A-Level Physics Concepts

Mechanics

Collisions

collisions simulation

Discover the Principle of Conservation of Momentum in a 3D environment allowing control of position, mass and velocity.

Run

Circular Motion

circular motion simulation

Experiment with circular motion and see how it links with simple harmonic motion equations.

Run

Projectile Motion

projectile motion simulation

View how acceleration due to gravity applies and see how it impacts movement in different directions.

Run

Waves & Light

Snell's Law

snell's law simulation

See how Snell's Law of Refraction works in 3D and how light refracts at different refractive indexes.

Run

Interference

wave interference simulation

Observe interference between two point sources and activate the tone to hear how the amplitude of the sound wave changes with position.

Run

Particle Physics

Cyclotron

cyclotron simulation

Observe a Cyclotron slowed down and experiment with getting high accelerations. This simulation does not account for relativistic effects.

Run

Alpha Particle Scattering

alpha particle scattering simulation

View Rutherford's famous alpha particle scattering experiment in 3D. Observe how increased velocity and/or increasing the charge changes deflection.

Run

Nuclear Decay

nuclear decay graph simulation

Observe how our exponential model of nuclear decay gets increasingly more suitable as the number of nuclei that we analyse increases.
