Animated Physics Practice

Software you can buy for Mac and Windows

  • Enjoy solving physics revision problems which move
  • Learn to visualise physics concepts
  • Improve your practical skills

This software has 30 events which simulate bench-top experiments and real-life situations. The physics topics covered are

Velocity and Acceleration - including straightline, circular, projectile and SH motion.
Force and Energy - including work, power, and momentum in 1 and 2 dimensions.
Electricity and Waves - including static and current electricity, electromagnetism and stationary waves.

Sample screen

The questions will ask you to make on-screen measurements of quantities such as distances, angles, and time in order to work out answers to the problems. Animation factors have been randomised so that correct answers to the revision problems may vary. If your answer is incorrect you will be able to click on the Hint button for several ideas you may have forgotten to take into account. Show me more detailed info.
