Simulations
Physics Simulation Library
Each simulation includes an audio introduction and general directions. These simulations are very well designed, and each experiment gives the opportunity to change the parameters, collect data, and interpret various graphs. The following simulations are included: One-Dimensional Constant Acceleration, Constant Velocity Versus Constant Acceleration, Freefall, and Stopping Distance of a Car.
