This java applet show you the physics processes of a Carnot heat engine. Carnot cycle is a four-stage reversible sequence... see more
Applet demonstrates clearly how a shock wave is formed when an object travels faster than the speed of sound. User may... see more
It might seem surprising that a particle moving in a straight lines has angular momentum. Kepler's second law states:... see more
Some balls bounce better than others. A particular ball can be characterized by its coefficient of restitution. This java... see more
Applet clearly demonstrates Brownian motion in two dimensions. The small particles are shown as well as the large... see more
Fermat's principle states that: The path of a ray of light between two points is the path that minimizes the travel time.... see more
This Applet shows a microscopic model for an ideal gas. The pressure that a gas exerts on the walls of its container is a... see more
The uniform circular motion is intimately related to a simple harmonic motion. If we were to look at a side view of the... see more
Demonstrates superposition principle. When two or more waves move through the same region of space, they will superimpose... see more
