Build circuits with batteries, resistors, light bulbs, and switches. PhET: Circuit Construction Kit: DC - Virtual Lab Do you like Circuit Construction Kit: DC, but want to use only in-line ammeters? This is the sim for you! Experiment with an electronics kit.View the circuit as a schematic diagram, or switch to a lifelike view. Determine if everyday objects are conductors or insulators, and take measurements with an ammeter and voltmeter. PhET: Circuit Construction Kit: DC Experiment with an electronics kit! Build circuits with batteries, resistors, light bulbs, and switches.Create models of dipoles, capacitors, and more! Plot equipotential lines and discover their relationship to the electric field. PhET: Charges and Fields Arrange positive and negative charges in space and view the resulting electric field and electrostatic potential.Connect a charged capacitor to a light bulb and observe a discharging RC circuit. View the electric field, and measure the voltage. Change the voltage and see charges build up on the plates. PhET: Capacitor Lab - Basics Explore how a capacitor works! Change the size of the plates and the distance between them.PhET: Build an Atom Build an atom out of protons, neutrons, and electrons, and see how the element, charge, and mass change.Play with prisms of different shapes and make rainbows. See how changing from air to water to glass changes the bending angle. PhET: Bending Light Explore bending of light between two media with different indices of refraction.PhET: Balloons and Static Electricity Why does a balloon stick to your sweater? Explore the charges in the sweater, balloons, and the wall as you investigate!.Test what you've learned by trying the Balance Challenge game. PhET: Balancing Act Play with objects on a teeter totter to learn about balance. ![]() Customize the attraction to see how changing the atomic diameter and interaction strength affects the interaction. Observe the the total force acting on the atoms or the individual attractive and repulsive forces. PhET: Atomic Interactions Explore the interactions between various combinations of two atoms.List the error sources the simulation eliminates or minimizes.\) Describe why using the simulation is a good method for studying projectiles. Try for at least 2 other combinations of launch velocity and angle.Ħ.Test your predicted value using the simulation. Calculate the horizontal range when the initial velocity is 25m/s and the launch angle is 20 deg to the horizontal.Does the simulation work as predicted? Show your working clearly Use SUVAT equations to make predictions for the horizontal range of projectiles launched at different angles and speeds. You should also add force vectors (ignore air resistance). The simulation allows you to add the velocity and acceleration vectors, so use this to help with the diagram. Remember the length of arrow indicate the relative size of the vector. Label all the vectors acting on a projectile at different stages of flight. Summarize your discoveries including explanations for the different flight paths.Ĥ. Use the simulation to investigate how the items you listed in #2 effect the shape of the flight path. Draw the flight path of your drink can and describe the shape. Compare your list with another group, discuss your explanations and make modificationsģ.Next to each item, briefly explain why you think the landing location changes.Make a complete list of things that affect the landing site of a projectile including your ideas from question #1 above and any discoveries you made using the simulation. ![]() Use Projectile Motion simulation to test your ideas about the things that affect the landing location of a projectile. What factors will effect whether or not it lands in the bin?Ģ. When the can is empty, you decide to throw it in the waste bin. One day after school, you are enjoying a drink in the park with friends. Make predictions based on calculations, to test the accuracy of the simulation (do SUVAT equations apply?) Start here:ġ.Describe all the vectors acting on a projectile during it’s flight.Use reasoning to explain the predictions.Predict how varying initial conditions effects the path of a projectile. ![]() Projectile motion activity for A-Level Physics students (Mechanics topics): Follow this activity and you should be able to: ![]()
