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

Conservation of Mechanical Energy
Potential energy The potential energy of an object is the energy stored in an object or system. Denoted as Ep. Generally speaking, potential energy refers to potential energy caused by gravity and is proportional to an … more
Potential energy due to gravity
Potential energy due to gravity Lifting heavy objects increases the potential energy of the object. The amount of work done when lifting an object of mass m by height h can be obtained as (Potential energy … more
Spring pendulum(horizontal)
This simulation ignored the effects of friction. Simple harmonic oscillation In everyday life, we see a lot of movements that repeated the same oscillation. Like below, shaky or suspended objects are doing this oscillation. Clock pendulum … more
Period of Physical Pendulum
A pendulum that vibrates is one of a ‘simple pendulum’ or ‘physical pendulum.’ A simple pendulum is a case in which an object’s angular motion can be ignored, such as a small object suspended from a … more
Spring Pendulum(Vertical)
This simulation ignored the effects of friction. Simple harmonic oscillation In everyday life, we see a lot of movements that repeated the same oscillation. Like below, shaky or suspended objects are doing this oscillation. Clock pendulum … more
Gravity Train
Like this simulation, if you drill a hole in the earth and throw it in, you can send it to the other side of the earth. This simulation ignores the effects of friction. The earth is … more
Buoyancy: Archimedes and the Crown
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
