Physics Software

A virtual laboratory for simulating physical phenomena. The program's modules cover topics such as optics, vectors, waves, gravity, diffraction, and more.

[Win] shareware program lets you use your mouse to create three-dimensional structures by joining point masses to connecting rods in much the way children once built real objects using Tinker Toys. You may then apply forces to these masses and simulate the subsequent motion of the entire object.

[Win] offers CD-ROM aid(s for) studying the topics of energy, forces and motion.

[Win] multimedia CD-ROM which uses animation to convey concepts about pumps.

[Mac] atomic orbital visualization aid.

[Win, Mac] interactive atomic motion simulation program.

offering a comprehensive and easy-to-use simulator covering electricity, electronics, waves, optics, mechanics, kinematics and sound and two on-screen physics courses geared towards GCSE and A-level physics.

electromagnetism software to visualize equipotential surfaces and field lines in 3D for many kinds of charges

[Win, Mac] offers CD-ROMs for learning about force, motion, oscillation, and waves.

offers a virtual physics lab title for high school students. Topics include geometrical optics, electrostatics, mechanics, and more.

[Win, Mac] physics simulation software. Gives you access to a wide range of controls, parameters, objects, environments, and components. Add objects, springs, joints, ropes, and dampers. Simulate contact, collisions, and friction. Alter gravity and air resistance. Measure the velocity, acceleration, and energy of your objects.

[Win] helps junior high, high school, and college students understand the behavior of pin-truss bridges. Students can build their own bridges, test them and run bridge-building competitions.

[Win, Mac] particle detection chamber simulation program.

makes immediately comprehending and interpreting challenging problems in plasma physics education affordable and easy. OOPIC Pro enables professors to provide their students real-time visualization of plasma behavior during simulation. Rich diagnostic visualization and interactivity builds appreciation of plasma dynamics and deeper physical insight into plasma behavior.

[Win] offers two titles: Orbit Explorer, which enables you to do lab exercises in gravitational physics, and Interference, which allows you to visualize and experiment with the interference pattern of two circular waves.

[Win] offers a large variety of math, physics, and engineering software simulation lessons. Topics include wave attenuation, frequency analysis, circuit simulation, and much more.

offers a large variety of physics software suitable for high school, undergraduate, and graduate education.

[Win, Mac] college level introductory physics text with movies and calculus text on CD-ROM.

[Win] tool for simulating the physical world.

[Win, Mac] offers a physics calculation tool and a projectile motion simulator title.

[Win, Mac] interactive tour of quarks, neutrinos, antimatter, extra dimensions, dark matter, accelerators, and particle detectors. Available online and on CD-ROM.

[Win] 2D motion simulation software. Allows you to explore physics on a more meaningful level than can be taught on paper or at the chalkboard. You can study what-if scenarios and create nearly any simulation imaginable.

[Mac] offers a large variety of physics software. Topics include the kinematics and the dynamics of rotational motion with constant angular acceleration, linear motion with constant acceleration, electric circuits, electric fields, and much more.
