Mechanics Simulators (48+) from the PVL

Mechanics (a.k.a. Visual Mechanics) is a Virtual Laboratory of Mechanics. An Intuitively Easy-To-Use collection of -at least- 48 interactive Mechanics simulation modules that allow the user to simulate and visualize experiments.

A Virtual Laboratory mainly a t the University level, however, High Schools with ambitious programs and Colleges may find Mechanics very useful for their courses. Mechanics may be used (1) during classes, to support the teacher`s explanation, making classes more interesting, (2) in the library by students, to review the topics covered in classes (3) at home by students to run experiments with the student`s data, even extreme experiments, which result in a better grasping of topics. Teachers may use this software to prepare classes and suggest experiments.

Mechanics makes the students really learn because the experiments exceed those studied in a traditional Mechanics course, thus opening the doors to a richer and enlightening panorama.

In a conventional (traditional) Physics laboratory it is impossible to execute experiments with extreme parameters, for instance it is impossible to shot a gun, because it is dangerous, it is impossible to make changes in the acceleration of gravity, it is not possible to carry out experiments in "Slow Motion" or to settle a "time freezing". This software overcomes all these drawbacks.

Special Features .-
-Experiment pause (Time freezing): introduuces a pause during an experiment, which is usually used to display vectors (forces, velocities, accelerations, etc)
-Slow Motion: executes an experiment slowlly enough for the user to appreciate the details.
-Extreme parameters experimentation: Allowws experimentation with parameters that if used in real life would produce damage to the equipment or harm the user.
-Using the screen as a blackboard: In manyy experiments the user may use the screen as a blackboard: placing vectors, blocks, masses, etc wherever he/she wants on screen. <>
