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

Spectrum Analysis of Sound
This simulation analyzes the sound around you and displays it as a spectrum. The simulation works by recognizing the surrounding sounds. In the case of PC, please grant permission to use the microphone. Voice data is … more
Density distribution in the atmosphere
Observe how the density distribution of the atmosphere changes as gravity (gravitational acceleration) is varied. The total kinetic energy of the air particles is assumed to be constant. Gravity is assumed to act uniformly, and no … more
4-stroke engine
Heat engine A heat engine is a machine that operates by moving energy from a hot space to a cold space. In this process, the heat engine converts some of the heat energy into mechanical energy. … more
Torricelli’s Experiment
Torricelli’s Experiment The first person to measure the magnitude of air pressure is Italian scientist Torricelli. He was filled with mercury (Hg) in a glass tube with one end blocked. And he stood upside down in … more
Boyle’s J Tube experiment
Boyle’s J-tube experiment Boyle’s J-tube experiment is an experiment that Boyle did to prove his law. Boyle experimented with pouring mercury into a J-shaped glass tube with one side blocked. At first, the heights of mercury … more
Doppler Effect and RedShift
Doppler Effect By listening to the ambulance’s siren, we can tell if the ambulance is coming or going. When an ambulance approaches with a siren, the sound wave’s wavelength becomes shorter (higher note), and when it … more
Lorentzs Force
Direction of the Lorentz force Conductors in which current flows in a magnetic field are forced to move. The direction of this force is perpendicular to the current and the magnetic field, respectively. More precisely, we … more
Video Motion Analysis (Screen Pointing)
Range X min X max Y min Y max This app is a web-based software that analyzes the motion of objects recorded in video frame by frame. This program analyzes the movement of objects captured on … more
Heat conduction (a good thing about wooden pot handles)
Conduction The ‘conduction’ of heat is how heat is transferred by moving particles that make up an object to neighboring particles. Heat can be transferred even if the particles do not move, mainly by vibration or … 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
