Elevators and Apparent Weight - Interactive Simulation
Explore how apparent weight changes in an elevator. See how acceleration affects the scale reading (normal force) - feel heavier when accelerating up, lighter when accelerating down, and weightless in free fall.

Simple Pendulum
Explore the physics of simple harmonic motion with an interactive pendulum simulation. Adjust length, mass, gravity (including planet presets), damping, and initial angle. Watch real-time energy transformations and measure the period.

Projectile Motion
Launch projectiles at different angles and velocities. Explore how gravity and launch parameters affect trajectory, range, and height. Compare with and without air resistance, and test on different planets.

Electric Field Visualization
Visualize electric field lines, vectors, and equipotential surfaces around point charges. Add, drag, and remove charges to explore how fields interact. Launch test charges to see their motion through the field.
