Simple Physics

Here is a Scene I made that teachers can use to show some simple physics experiments to their class!

Fixed, plus I fixed the scene so all the buttons work.

And what the heck is that?

I don't get it. This doesn't teach anything to me.

Just to point it out.
How the hell can you teach simple physics with this scene? It's stupid and pointless.

You can do much better by making it yourself.

Im slightly confused, what the first scene does is emulate some of the simulations on the myphisicslab.com page, and the second shows some linkages. The main point was to show the clickable buttons and the different linkages. I don't find it pointless or stupid, and i don't understand your "You can do much better by making it yourself." statement. What do you mean? :|

The interactivity lacks. I mean, you can barely move things with the drag button(because of the white background), and to me, it hardly teaches you anything because of this.

You can learn more if you actually just make those in Algodoo, instead of relying on a premade scene.

You probobly could learn more by making them yourself, but that isn't neccesarily the point. I did create a topic for this in scenes because of that a while back, but the real challenge is finding linkages to build, i had a heck of a time finding some of them!

Hooray!

RicH is going around being an enormous jerk lately!

Isn't it nice to have someone else, JRV?

This must be the most massive bump I have ever seen. The topic died 2 years ago, so just let it rest in peace.

Don't get too mad- a spambot bumped it.
Pretty smart one at that.

For the record, the sig says it all in this case, and the spambot's name is smithdwsn.

I normally don't reply to spambots, but...

Fuckin' magnets, how do they work?
