YP Electric Field simulates up to 26 indicate charges (located in the same aeroplane) and draws the lines of drive, the equipotential lines and the electric arena vectors in the area surrounding the electric charges. The user derriere move the charges and chang
Science - YP Refraction 1.0 By Yves Pelletier
YP Refraction is a cock to see all roughly the refraction of perch (Snell's law) in geometrical optics. The program provides a laser source that nates be moved around a prism. Six different prisms are available: a uncomplicated frontier between two media of different index of refraction, a semicircular prism, feather prism, a rectangular prism, two triangular prisms. The user nates change the indices of refraction. The normal at each point of incidence, the angle of incidence, the angle of refraction, the indices of refraction and the direction of propagation are displayed. The obtained diagram may be printed, copied to the clipboard, or saved as a PICT file. |

YP Slider Crank simulates the movement of a piston activated by a slider crank mechanism. The crank is in uniform rotational movement (changeless angular velocity), causing the piston to movement with a variable acceleration. Relative lengths of the crank arm
YP Planetary Gear is designed to attend teachers and students when they take the working of a erratic gear geartrain. (this software is not related in any way with astronomy). A erratic gear geartrain is a mechanism consisting of an assembly of meshed
YP Shadow simulates a light root projecting the shadow of an opaque body on a sieve. Using the mouse, it is facile to modify the attitude and the size of the light root, 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 gentle to alter 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 officiate of time with unproblematic mouse clicks. The program uses this graph to physique a graph of view vs time, and a gr
YP Collisions simulates a two-dimensional collision between two particles. The user chooses the people, the initial velocity (magnitude and way), and the coefficient of amends. An invigoration shows the motions of the particles before and afte
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 Image is designed to attend teachers and students when they canvass image formation by mirrors and lean lenses in geometrical optics. The program computes the localisation 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 contemplate the laws of reflexion in geometrical optics. The program provides the user with a laser source that throne be moved and rotated, and with a boastfully quantity of mirrors that throne be
YP Circular simulates an object in uniform rotary movement and/or an object in uncomplicated harmonic movement. Both motions (rotary and harmonic) may be animated simultaneously to depict that the uniform rotary movement is a combination of two uncomplicated harmon
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 ass be copied, printed or saved as a PICT file. What's New: Ver
YP Vectors is a education tool for the physics classroom. It displays a vector in two dimensions, and its two components. The user behind change the magnitude and the management of the vector using the mouse. A window shows the numerical treasure 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 toilet change the electric burster, the velocity and the magnetic field. The three vectors velocit
With YP Vernier, it is lenient to hear how to habit a vernier to appraise length with great precision. YP Vernier simulates a vernier caliper on the screen. Using a roll bar, the user moves the movable jaw, and the corresponding numerical esteem is disp
YP Gear has been designed for the canvass 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.
