Simulations In Physics Classroom Negussie Tirfessa Manchester Community College Oct. 26,2007
This simulation serves as a very good demonstration of conservation of Mechanical energy. The track can be modified, skater can be chosen, height can be measured, and gravity can be changed by choosing earth, moon, and Jupiter. http://phet.colorado.edu/new/simulations/index.php?cat=Top_Simulations
This simulation is used for projectile motion demonstrations. It has many options. The angles, initial speed, projectile type and size, altitude, and drag coefficient can be adjusted. For example, range and angle relationship can be easily demonstrated as shown below for 30 and 60 degrees. http://phet.colorado.edu/new/simulations/sims.php?sim=Projectile_Motion
In this simulation students study the relationship between potential and potential energy. They also investigate conservation of mechanical energy. They can vary the speed of an electron and the electric field between the plates.http://wps.aw.com/aw_knight_physics_1/0,8722,1123703-,00.html
Qualitative Introduction to Electric Potential by using ActivPhysics Simulations. In this simulations students can change charge values, charges signs, distance, an number of charges in order to help them understand concepts like electric field, electric potential, and equipotential lines. http://wps.aw.com/aw_knight_physics_1/0,8722,1123703-,00.html
This simulation has been used for lab activity on Electrostatics. Students collect data and analyze it. It can also be used for class activity on Electrostatics.http://webphysics.davidson.edu/physletprob/ch9_problems/ch9_1_electrostatics/default.html
This simulation can also be used for class activity in Electrostatics. It can be used as a problem for class group discussions.http://webphysics.davidson.edu/physletprob/ch9_problems/ch9_1_electrostatics/default.html
This simulations can be used for demos on Reflection, Refraction, and total internal reflection. The angles and the refractive indices can be varied. http://physics.bu.edu/~duffy/classroom.html
This simulations can be used for demos on Image formation by lenses and mirrors. The object size and object distances can be varied. http://physics.bu.edu/~duffy/classroom.html
