Explore the forces at work when pulling against a cart, and pushing a refrigerator, crate, or person. Create an applied force and see how it makes objects move. Change friction and see how it affects the motion of objects.
Use your smarts about gravity, force, and motion to build rovers to travel over Mars!
An interactive simulation by PhET to explore the effects of forces and motion on different objects, including adjusting friction levels.
Explore relationships pertaining to applied force, friction force, mass, and acceleration with the Force Interactive. Practice your skill of constructing free-body diagrams with the Free Body Diagram Interactive.
This collection of interactive simulations allow learners of Physics to explore core physics concepts by altering variables and observing the results. This section contains nearly 100 simulations and the numbers continue to grow.
Easy motion science experiments you can do at home! Click on the experiment image or the view experiment link below for each experiment on this page to see the materials needed and procedure. Have fun trying these experiments at home or use them for SCIENCE FAIR PROJECT IDEAS.
Create an applied force and see the resulting friction force and total force acting on the cabinet. Charts show the forces, position, velocity, and acceleration vs. time. View a Free Body Diagram of all the forces (including gravitational and normal forces).
