YP Electric Field simulates up to 26 direct charges (located in the same planer) and draws the lines of squeeze, the equipotential lines and the electric airfield vectors in the area surrounding the electric charges. The user tooshie move the charges and chang
YP Collisions simulates a two-dimensional collision between two particles. The user chooses the stack, the initial velocity (magnitude and instruction), and the coefficient of restoration. An vivification shows the motions of the particles before and afte
YP Slider Crank simulates the gesture of a piston activated by a slider crank mechanism. The crank is in uniform rotational gesture (unceasing angular velocity), causing the piston to movement with a variable acceleration. Relative lengths of the crank arm
YP Projectiles is a projectile motion simulator designed for physics teachers and students. To model a trajectory, the user chooses the initial velocity (magnitude and guidance), the vertical displacement component and the gravitational accelera
YP Planetary Gear is designed to serve teachers and students when they work the working of a erratic gear cultivate. (this software is not related in any way with astronomy). A erratic gear cultivate is a mechanism consisting of an assembly of meshed
YP Image is designed to serve teachers and students when they read image formation by mirrors and flimsy lenses in geometrical optics. The program computes the position and magnification of the image formed by a spherical mirror or a flimsy lens, and
YP Circular simulates an object in uniform flier movement and/or an object in uncomplicated harmonic movement. Both motions (flier and harmonic) may be animated simultaneously to usher that the uniform flier movement is a combination of two uncomplicated harmon
YP DC Circuits allows you to form a virtual electric circuit including batteries, resistors and switches, and measure currents and voltages with an ammeter and a voltmeter. The circuit butt be copied, printed or saved as a PICT file. What's New: Ver
YP Vectors is a instruction tool for the physics classroom. It displays a vector in two dimensions, and its two components. The user backside change the magnitude and the counselling of the vector using the mouse. A window shows the numerical prize of the mag
YP Magnetic Force is a pedagogy tool for the physics classroom. It simulates the magnetic force exerted on a particle moving in a magnetic field. The user rear change the electric burden, the velocity and the magnetic field. The three vectors velocit
YP Shadow simulates a light germ projecting the shadow of an opaque body on a blind. Using the mouse, it is sluttish to alter the post and the size of the light germ, the post and the size of the opaque body, and the post of the screen
YP Refraction is a joyride to larn all approximately the refraction of easy (Snell's law) in geometrical optics. The program provides a laser source that can be moved around a prism. Six different prisms are available: a simpleton frontier between two media of
With YP Vernier, it is lenient to memorize how to employment a vernier to value length with great precision. YP Vernier simulates a vernier caliper on the screen. Using a curlicue bar, the user moves the movable jaw, and the corresponding numerical treasure is disp
YP Waves simulates up to 3 traveling sine waves simultaneously. It is soft to convert the amplitude, wavelength, velocity and phase constant of each wave. This program is perfect to teach waves characteristics (amplitude, wavelength, etc.), the super
YP Gear has been designed for the sketch of gear trains. This Macintosh software simulates the motion of a gear train composed of 2, 3 or 4 gears. The user controls the size of each gear.
YP Rectilinear Motion is targeted toward physics teachers and physics students. It allows the user to plot a graph of velocity as a purpose of time with unsubdivided mouse clicks. The program uses this graph to physique a graph of situation vs time, and a gr
