Physics Collisions
Size: 255K
OS: Win 95
Description: This is a oblique collisions simulator of particles. It shows
balls that bounce around
the screen and perform oblique collisions. As a result, it also
provides a good
simulation of the ideal gas laws. The volume can be
changed by changing the window
size. Temperature can be changed by increasing their
kinetic energy. Density can be
changed by adding balls. There are other features as well
such as changing the
restitution of the balls' collisions or changing properties such
as the mass of individual
balls.

Begin button. Then set
back and watch the computer do all the work. As the
