YP Shadow simulates a light rootage projecting the shadow of an opaque body on a cover. Using the mouse, it is wanton to switch the posture and the size of the light rootage, the posture and the size of the opaque body, and the posture of the screen
Science - YP Projectiles 1.1 By Yves Pelletier
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 steering), the vertical displacement component and the gravitational acceleration. The software then draws the parabolic trajectory and writes its main characteristics: crop, maximum height reached, etc. During the simulation, it is possible to expose three vectors: acceleration, velocity and place, and three graphs: acceleration, velocity and place versus time. Many trajectories toilet be superposed in the same window, in the same surmount. Trajectories, numerical data and graphs may be printed or copied to be used in other software. Trajectories may be also saved as PICT files. |

Other Programs By Yves Pelletier
YP Shadow
YP Rectilinear Motion
YP Rectilinear Motion is targeted toward physics teachers and physics students. It allows the user to plot a graph of velocity as a affair of time with simpleton mouse clicks. The program uses this graph to anatomy a graph of status vs time, and a gr
YP Planetary Gear
YP Planetary Gear is designed to serve teachers and students when they learn the working of a planetal gear rail. (this software is not related in any way with astronomy). A planetal gear rail is a mechanism consisting of an assembly of meshed
YP Electric Field
YP Electric Field simulates up to 26 direct charges (located in the same shave) and draws the lines of squeeze, the equipotential lines and the electric area vectors in the area surrounding the electric charges. The user rump move the charges and chang
YP Gear
YP Gear has been designed for the read 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 Collisions
YP Collisions simulates a two-dimensional collision between two particles. The user chooses the pot, the initial velocity (magnitude and commission), and the coefficient of restoration. An invigoration shows the motions of the particles before and afte
YP Slider Crank
YP Slider Crank simulates the move of a piston activated by a slider crank mechanism. The crank is in uniform rotational move (invariant angular velocity), causing the piston to strike with a variable acceleration. Relative lengths of the crank arm
YP Image
YP Image is designed to serve teachers and students when they bailiwick image formation by mirrors and reduce lenses in geometrical optics. The program computes the locating and magnification of the image formed by a spherical mirror or a reduce lens, and
YP Reflection
YP Reflection is designed to help teachers and students when they sketch the laws of reflexion in geometrical optics. The program provides the user with a laser source that stern be moved and rotated, and with a tumid quantity of mirrors that stern be
YP Circular
YP Circular simulates an object in uniform handbill movement and/or an object in unsubdivided harmonic movement. Both motions (handbill and harmonic) may be animated simultaneously to evince that the uniform handbill movement is a combination of two unsubdivided harmon
YP DC Circuits
YP DC Circuits allows you to anatomy a virtual electric circuit including batteries, resistors and switches, and measure currents and voltages with an ammeter and a voltmeter. The circuit potty be copied, printed or saved as a PICT file. What's New: Ver
YP Vectors
YP Vectors is a pedagogy tool for the physics classroom. It displays a vector in two dimensions, and its two components. The user nates change the magnitude and the guidance of the vector using the mouse. A window shows the numerical measure of the mag
YP Magnetic Force
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 bathroom change the electric complaint, the velocity and the magnetic field. The three vectors velocit
YP Refraction
YP Refraction is a pecker to memorise all near the refraction of lightness (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
YP Vernier
With YP Vernier, it is wanton to memorise how to wont a vernier to standard 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 appreciate is disp
YP Waves
YP Waves simulates up to 3 traveling sine waves simultaneously. It is loose to interchange the amplitude, wavelength, velocity and phase constant of each wave. This program is perfect to teach waves characteristics (amplitude, wavelength, etc.), the super
