Science Simulations
Tension by gravity In physics, tension is the force on a string connecting two objects. Generally, the tension is calculated from both ends toward the center. When the length of the pendulum is \(l\), let’s consider the pendulum raised and … more
● It’s a tube. The radius of the tube is outside: inside = 0.75: 1. There is no rolling friction. ● It’s a tube. The radius of the tube is outside: inside = 0.5: 1. There is no rolling friction. … more
You can hang multiple springs by touching (or clicking) the screen. What’s the difference when connecting multiple springs in series or parallel? (Notice) All springs and weights each have the same properties (mass, spring constant). The spring is very light, … more
The above simulation is based on a circuit that actually works. The transistor uses C1815(general-purpose NPN switching transistor). The resistance connected to the base is 100kΩ, and the resistance connected to the emitter is 100Ω. Transistor A transistor is a … more
Ammeter The strength of the current in the electrical circuit is measured using an ammeter. There is a rotor with a coil wound inside the ammeter. When the current flows through the ammeter, the coil and the rotor will have … more
Why did the King of Lilliput serve 1728 meals to Gulliver? This is because the volume of two objects that resemble each other in three dimensions is proportional to the cube of length. Since Gulliver’s height is about 12 times … more
Resistance Electrical resistance is a property of a material that impedes the flow of electric current. The unit of resistance is the ohm(Ω). When a voltage of 1V is applied, the conductor’s resistance that allows a current of 1A is … more
Dissolving Dissolving means that the solute diffuses into the solvent and mixes. It is a common case that salt or sugar is dissolved in water. Solvents are often liquid, mostly water. The Earth’s atmosphere is a mixture of nitrogen and … more
Diode Diodes are electronic components that pass current in only one direction. The direction in which current can flow through the diode is called ‘forward,’ and the direction in which current cannot flow through the diode is called ‘reverse.’ If … more
LED LEDs are electronic devices that emit photons. LEDs have higher efficiency and longer life than bulbs. Basically, LEDs have a structure like a p-n junction diode. The p-n junction diode is made by attaching a p-type semiconductor and an … more
A spring scale is a tool that measures the mass and gravity of an object using the spring’s elastic force. The spring of this scale is lengthened by gravity and shortened by elasticity. You can find out the gravity (or … more
