PHET Collision Lab

course Phy 121

I played with the Collision Lab. Played is probably the best word for it. Mostly I just tested out different scenarios and watched them play out. Made me think the same organization should do a lab on the physics of billiards.

Good.

You might find the simulation at

interesting. It's used in the second-semester course. I believe this is the first simulation I wrote, over 20 years ago; the current version is updated for Windows but otherwise the same as the original.
