PHYSICS SIMULATIONS
The AP Physics Web Guide includes links and brief descriptions of simulations for every single topic of the AP Physics (B and C) curriculum.
Excellent simulations from Interscience-Wiley to accompany Halliday Resnick 6ed. Each simulation includes audio and self-tests. The 52 simulations are included in the CD version of the textbook.
Project at the University of Colorado includes over 50 excellent simulations on various areas of Mechanics, Waves and Electricity and Magnetism. The website has a searchable database of activities that integrate the use of the simulations. The simulations can be downloaded in its entirety for free!
This is a very comprehensive resource to accompany University Physics by Young & Freedman. It includes not only excellent simulations with quantitative analysis but also videos in a wide variety of topics from Mechanics, Waves/Acoustics, Thermodynamics, Optics, Electromagnetism and modern Physics.
Collection of links organized by topic to sites on the web that have computerized simulations of physics principles. Includes links to lecture notes by topic. This site is not maintained regularly and has lots of broken links.
Excellent quality JAVA applets in Mechanics, Waves, Optics and
a few in Electricity and Magnetism.
42 simulations by Walter Fendt. Includes Mechanics, Oscillations and Waves, Electrodynamics, Optics, Thermodynamics and Relativity.
These applets can be downloaded for free!
Internet based experimental physics: contains several experiments with historical backgrounds of original discoveries.
This group of simulations is related to Jones & Childers textbook. Consists of 56 simulations accompanied by instructions and explanations.
PHYSLETS: Scripted by Andrew Duffy at Boston University.
Contains excellent Physlet exercises divided in three main collections: first and second semester introductory physics classes and pre-lab assignments.
Dr. Joel Bryan. Texas A&M University
Contains 36 simple physics labs downloadable in WORD and pdf files.
Molecular Expressions from Florida State University
Great tutorials with animations. Includes: magnetic fields, capacitors, electromagnetic induction, Lenz's Law, ac and dc generators, lightning, cathode rays, how a CD works, how a hard drive works and how a metal detector works.
Molecular Expressions from Florida State University
Great tutorials with animations. Includes topics in light and optics such as reflection, refraction, image formation in mirrors and lenses, interference and diffraction, polarization, color and human vision.
Includes a compilation of 69 interactive lab simulations from various sources.
Collection from Mississippi State University. This site includes links to Java and Shockwave simulations from around the world. Covers all topics of AP Physics B. Most of the simulations are placed on their server.
These applets were developed by C.G. Ng in Hong Kong. The topics covered are Mechanics, Light and Waves and Electricity and Magnetism.
21 simulations by Sergey and Tanya Kiselev. Topics include Light and Optics, Pendulum, Springs and DC Circuits.
Physics applets from the University of Oregon. Includes Energy, Mechanics and Thermodynamics topics.
Judson Wagner created physics applets that offer visual representation
of concepts in all topics of the AP Physics syllabus.
The topics covered are Waves, Optics, Mechanics and Thermodynamics. Each topic includes a series of very colorful animations divided into mini- lectures and video clips.
University of Colorado. This site has simulations from Atomic and Nuclear Physics.
Very extensive collection of links for college levels of physics.
Short collection of simulations written by A. John Mallinckrodt using Interactive Physics from MSC Working Knowledge.
Contains simulations for topics in Kinematics, Dynamics and Vectors.
