oPhysics: Interactive Physics Simulations

Select a simulation from one of the above categories or click on a category to see descriptions of the simulations for that category.

About oPhysics

The oPhysics website is a collection of interactive physics simulations. It is a work in progress, and likely always will be. Content will be added as time allows.

About The Author

All of the content on this site was created by me, Tom Walsh. I retired after teaching high school physics for 27 years, and AP Physics for 25 years. Please click my name above to send me feedback about these simulations or suggestions for new simulations I could create.

About GeoGebra

Most of the animated illustrations and all of the interactive simulations on this site were created using the wonderful GeoGebra software. GeoGebra is a free program that makes it very easy to create animations and simulations for anyone with a good understanding of math or physics. To browse or search for pre-made math and physics simulations (including those used on this site) and for more information about the software please visit their website: www.geogebra.org.
