Mercury Barometers on Different Planets
What would happen if you brought a mercury barometer to Earth, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars? Here, we assume that the mercury barometer has a U-shaped tube: one side is open, and the other side … more
Molecules in Motion Simulation
Pressure, buoyancy, and gravity applied to a balloon
Assume the pressure inside and outside the balloon is equal at 1 atmosphere. For ease of calculation, the volume and mass of the balloon and string are assumed to be zero. Pressure on a Balloon In … more
Convection in the room: air conditioners and stoves
Convection in the room There are three ways to transfer the heat: conduction, convection, and radiation. Convection is the method by which heat is transferred by the direct movement of particles that make up a liquid … more
Diffusion of ink in cold and hot water
Particle movement according to temperature The matter around us is made up of tiny particles constantly moving. The particles move more actively as the temperature increases. Water particles move more actively in hot water than cold … more
Kinetic Theory Model
Kinetic theory model Gas particles are constantly moving in all directions. However, we cannot observe these gases because they are very small. The “Kinetic theory model” can replace these invisible gas particles with beads and make … more
Vacuum Jar
Vacuum Jar A vacuum jar(or vacuum sealer, vacuum container) is a container that can remove air using a pump. Originally, vacuum jars were made as kitchen utensils to help meat soak in seasoning. Now, they are … more
Ideal Gas Law Calculator
The ideal gas equation is a formula that expresses the law of the relationship between pressure, volume, number, and temperature of ideal gases. With this simple equation, you can calculate the remaining variables you don’t know. … more
Gas in Various Condition
This simulation supports multitouch. Nature of gas Since the gas can not be seen or touched, a little imagination is needed to understand the ‘nature of the gas.’ In most everyday life, people often do not … more
Boyle’s Law 2
Drag the standard weight and place it on top of the piston. You can download graph data. Boyle’s Law Doubling the pressure of a gas reduces the volume of the gas by 1/2, and increasing the … more
Root-Mean-Square Velocity of Gas Molecules (Vrms)
* The gas molecules in the above simulation are all of the same type, and the color of the molecules is for identification purposes only. Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases ‘Kinetic Theory of Gases’ is a … more
Where did the pendulum’s energy go? (The second law of thermodynamics and irreversible phenomena)
Where did the pendulum’s energy go? A pendulum that vibrates in the air continues to collide with air molecules in the process of vibrating. Air molecules get their energy from the pendulum. In this process, Air … more
Temperature and Reaction Rate
Heat and molecular motion Every object is made up of atoms or molecules that are small particles that the eye can not see. These particles are constantly moved or oscillated themselves. This is called molecular motion. … more
