YP Electric Field simulates up to 26 gunpoint charges (located in the same skim) and draws the lines of pull, the equipotential lines and the electric champaign vectors in the area surrounding the electric charges. The user ass move the charges and chang
Science - YP Circular 1.0.2 By Yves Pelletier
YP Circular simulates an object in uniform throwaway question and/or an object in uncomplicated harmonic question. Both motions (throwaway and harmonic) may be animated simultaneously to show that the uniform throwaway question is a combination of two uncomplicated harmonic motions. Physics teachers usage YP Circular to show that the velocity is tangent to the circle and that the centripetal acceleration is directed toward the center of the circle, in a uniform throwaway question. Finally, physics students using YP Circular should vex a amend understanding of the meaning of the following concepts: "vector", "portion of a vector", "situation", "velocity", "acceleration". During the simulation, it is possible to show the following vectors: acceleration, velocity and situation, and the following graphs: acceleration, velocity and situation versus time. |

Other Programs By Yves Pelletier
YP Slider Crank simulates the motion of a piston activated by a slider crank mechanism. The crank is in uniform rotational motion (unremitting angular velocity), causing the piston to motion with a variable acceleration. Relative lengths of the crank arm
YP Planetary Gear is designed to help teachers and students when they canvas the working of a erratic gear check. (this software is not related in any way with astronomy). A erratic gear check is a mechanism consisting of an assembly of meshed
YP Shadow simulates a light germ projecting the shadow of an opaque body on a riddle. Using the mouse, it is easygoing to exchange the attitude and the size of the light germ, the attitude and the size of the opaque body, and the attitude of the screen
YP Waves simulates up to 3 traveling sine waves simultaneously. It is slowly to switch the amplitude, wavelength, velocity and phase constant of each wave. This program is perfect to teach waves characteristics (amplitude, wavelength, etc.), the super
YP Rectilinear Motion is targeted toward physics teachers and physics students. It allows the user to plot a graph of velocity as a role of time with unsubdivided mouse clicks. The program uses this graph to flesh a graph of billet vs time, and a gr
YP Collisions simulates a two-dimensional collision between two particles. The user chooses the sight, the initial velocity (magnitude and guidance), and the coefficient of return. An vivification shows the motions of the particles before and afte
YP Projectiles is a projectile motion simulator designed for physics teachers and students. To copy a trajectory, the user chooses the initial velocity (magnitude and focus), the vertical displacement component and the gravitational accelera
YP Image is designed to aid teachers and students when they canvas image formation by mirrors and dilute lenses in geometrical optics. The program computes the emplacement and magnification of the image formed by a spherical mirror or a dilute lens, and
YP Reflection is designed to help teachers and students when they cogitation the laws of reflexion in geometrical optics. The program provides the user with a laser source that toilet be moved and rotated, and with a tumid quantity of mirrors that toilet be
YP DC Circuits allows you to soma a virtual electric circuit including batteries, resistors and switches, and measure currents and voltages with an ammeter and a voltmeter. The circuit rump be copied, printed or saved as a PICT file. What's New: Ver
YP Vectors is a pedagogy tool for the physics classroom. It displays a vector in two dimensions, and its two components. The user prat change the magnitude and the focus of the vector using the mouse. A window shows the numerical assess of the mag
YP Magnetic Force is a precept tool for the physics classroom. It simulates the magnetic force exerted on a particle moving in a magnetic field. The user dismiss change the electric bang, the velocity and the magnetic field. The three vectors velocit
YP Refraction is a prick to con all some the refraction of tripping (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 loose to memorise how to purpose a vernier to bill length with great precision. YP Vernier simulates a vernier caliper on the screen. Using a coil bar, the user moves the movable jaw, and the corresponding numerical treasure is disp
YP Gear has been designed for the consider 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.
