Free Fall Experiment 2
This simulation allows you to measure speed as a function of fall height. You can measure the speed at two locations and change the ruler’s orientation. Free fall movement All objects on Earth are affected by … more

Free Fall Experiment
This simulation allows you to measure speed as a function of fall height. Free fall movement All objects on Earth are affected by gravity. If there were no friction with air, the speed of any object … more
Relativity of Simultaneity
Let’s assume there is a light source in the middle of the train and sensors on both sides to detect the light. From the point of view of an observer inside the train, the two light … more
Graph of Constant Velocity Motion
The distance covered by an object moving at a constant speed increases proportionally with time. If the distance is plotted against time on a graph, it will result in a straight line with a slope that … more
“Free falling” or “Thrown to the horizontal direction”
How to use the simulation Drag the ball with your mouse to free fall it in the air. Drag your mouse on the cliff to observe the parabolic motion. You can change the horizontal speed by … more
Twin Paradox
Twin Paradox Twin paradox started as a contradiction in ‘time delay’ in Special relativity. The Twin Paradox goes something like this: (Contents vary depending on the media.) One of the twins stays on Earth, and the … more
Minkowski Spacetime
Minkowski Spacetime Minkowski spacetime (or Minkowski space) is a coordinate system devised by German mathematician Minkowski. The peculiar thing is that the coordinate system contains space and time. Minkowski spacetime uses matrices to express a four-dimensional … more
