YP Shadow simulates a light reference projecting the shadow of an opaque body on a cover. Using the mouse, it is promiscuous to transfer the situation and the size of the light reference, the situation and the size of the opaque body, and the situation of the screen
Science - YP Collisions 1.0 By Yves Pelletier
YP Collisions simulates a two-dimensional collision between two particles. The user chooses the spate, the initial velocity (magnitude and counsel), and the coefficient of restoration. An aliveness shows the motions of the particles before and after the collision, and the following information is displayed: last velocity of each particle, whim of each particle, momentum (initial and last), percentage of conserved momentum, kinetic energy, percentage of conserved energy. It is also possible to scene the pressure exerted on each particle during the collision. |

Other Programs By Yves Pelletier
YP Rectilinear Motion is targeted toward physics teachers and physics students. It allows the user to plot a graph of velocity as a use of time with unproblematic mouse clicks. The program uses this graph to figure a graph of status vs time, and a gr
YP Planetary Gear is designed to help teachers and students when they bailiwick the working of a worldwide gear discipline. (this software is not related in any way with astronomy). A worldwide gear discipline is a mechanism consisting of an assembly of meshed
YP Electric Field simulates up to 26 pointedness charges (located in the same planer) and draws the lines of coerce, the equipotential lines and the electric domain vectors in the area surrounding the electric charges. The user crapper move the charges and chang
YP Gear has been designed for the canvas 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 Slider Crank simulates the move of a piston activated by a slider crank mechanism. The crank is in uniform rotational move (steady angular velocity), causing the piston to displace with a variable acceleration. Relative lengths of the crank arm
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 counselling), 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 lean lenses in geometrical optics. The program computes the positioning and magnification of the image formed by a spherical mirror or a lean lens, and
YP Reflection is designed to help teachers and students when they analyse the laws of rumination in geometrical optics. The program provides the user with a laser source that derriere be moved and rotated, and with a declamatory quantity of mirrors that derriere be
YP Circular simulates an object in uniform ringed move and/or an object in childlike harmonic move. Both motions (ringed and harmonic) may be animated simultaneously to display that the uniform ringed move is a combination of two childlike harmon
YP DC Circuits allows you to physique a virtual electric circuit including batteries, resistors and switches, and measure currents and voltages with an ammeter and a voltmeter. The circuit backside be copied, printed or saved as a PICT file. What's New: Ver
YP Vectors is a commandment tool for the physics classroom. It displays a vector in two dimensions, and its two components. The user tail change the magnitude and the way of the vector using the mouse. A window shows the numerical assess of the mag
YP Magnetic Force is a instruction tool for the physics classroom. It simulates the magnetic force exerted on a particle moving in a magnetic field. The user rump change the electric lodge, the velocity and the magnetic field. The three vectors velocit
YP Refraction is a putz to study all some the refraction of unhorse (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 unsubdivided frontier between two media of
With YP Vernier, it is facile to watch how to expend a vernier to bill 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 prize is disp
YP Waves simulates up to 3 traveling sine waves simultaneously. It is loose to modification the amplitude, wavelength, velocity and phase constant of each wave. This program is perfect to teach waves characteristics (amplitude, wavelength, etc.), the super
