This award-winning software package brings powerful simulation capabilities to the
computer, allowing users to model virtually any mechanical or electrostatic system. Used by thousands of educators and integrated in textbook curriculums by several publishers,
Interactive Physics is widely used in introductory physics
courses.
The easy to use interface allows the user to build simple or elaborate systems on screen. Point and click with a mouse to build systems made up of ropes, rods, pulleys, gears, springs, various joints, actuators, dampers, motors, and objects of various shape and
mass.
Having built the physical system, other parameters can be entered: forces, torques, gravitational acceleration, friction, air resistance, spring constants, elasticity, and charge. Clicking the RUN button starts the simulation. The program calculates the motion of the system and displays it in smooth animation. Meters can be selected to display simulation information in graphical or digital format as the simulation
runs.
Teachers and students can use Interactive Physics to build and explore physics experiments on the computer. Use
Interactive Physics as a lecture demonstration tool. Work a textbook problem on the blackboard and then build it on the computer screen for a full visualization of the solution. Model lab experiments or have students create their
own.
