Forces and Motion

The Internet is filled with all sort of nice applications and programs that you could use in order to make your work easier. Forces and Motion is one of those applications.

It's an educational application designed to enable you to explore the forces at work when you try to push a file cabinet. It sports an intuitive and sleek graphical interface with many nice features at hand.

The application doesn't take long to install and it doesn't come with a complicated setup that you would need to complete before you can actually use it. It sports a clean and intuitive graphical interface with many nice tools at hand.

Forces and Motion is an educational application designed to enable you to explore the forces at work when you try to push a file cabinet.

You can 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).

The application can predict, qualitatively, how an external force will affect the speed and direction of an object's motion. It can also explain the effects with the help of a free body diagram.

It allows you to use free body diagrams to draw position, velocity, acceleration and force graphs and vice versa. It explains how the graphs relate to one another. It allows you to sketch all four graphs given a scenario or a graph.

It comes with the option to adjust vectors, set the friction surface and change the material for walls. Forces and Motion is a very useful educational application designed to enable you to explore the forces at work when you try to push a file cabinet.
