Movement of an object suspended from a pulley
Movement on the pulley Two objects are connected by a string on a fixed, frictionless pulley and are moving together. In this case, the mass of the string and pulley is ignored. Since tension and … more

Archimedes Buoyancy 1
Why is the submerged volume important to understand buoyancy? It is so famous that the 3rd-century Greek philosopher Archimedes shouted “Eureka!” and ran out of the bathhouse naked. （What did Archimedes find out? – Quotations from … more
Three Body Problem
x y Vx Vy * The mass and gravitational constant of the celestial body were each assumed to be ‘1’. * You can edit the position and speed of each celestial body while not running. * … more
Free Fall Motion Analysis
Why do light and heavy objects fall at the same time? The change in speed due to gravity is the same for all objects because the force and inertia acting on an object are proportional to … more
Solar System
Solar System All the orb bodies that revolve around the sun and their space are called the solar system. The celestial bodies that make up the solar system include the eight planets revolving around the sun … more
Kinetic Energy
Kinetic energy All moving objects have kinetic energy. The kinetic energy Ek of an object with a mass of ‘m’ and a velocity of ‘v’ can be calculated as follows. \[E_{ k }=\frac { 1 }{ … more
Elastic energy
Elastic (potential) energy stored in the spring The elastic energy is stored in the deformed spring. Also called ‘potential energy,’ and denoted by Ep. m: Mass (kg) k: Spring … more
Earth’s gravity
Gravity Gravity is the force that is attracted between all objects with mass. According to Newton, an object with mass attracts each other with force proportional to the two objects’ mass and inversely proportional to the … more
Range and Intensity of the Gravity
Gravity Gravity is the force that is attracted between all objects with mass. According to Newton, an object with mass attracts each other with force proportional to the two objects’ mass and inversely proportional to the … more
Gravitational Lensing
Space-time warpage Einstein, famous for the theory of relativity, thought that the mass of an object warps space-time. The larger the mass, the greater the degree of time-space warp. He explained that an object’s falling or … more
F = ma (Newton’s law of motion)
Force changes the motion Consider the process of changing the movement by applying force to the cart. If the amount of force acting on the cart is doubled or tripled, the speed change is doubled or … more
Spring Scales
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 … more
