Education | 3.1MB
Description
This simulation is designed for physics teachers and students. Touch and drag to draw 2D vectors on screen, connect them and see the resultant. This is a teaching/learning tool for students to be able to draw and visualize vector addition with immediate feedback.
Instructions:
- touch and drag to draw a vector (maximum 2 allowed at a time)
- drag the ends to change the vector, or the center to translate it across the screen and connect it to another vector
- "snap 5/2" - snaps vectors to the nearest 2 m and 5 degrees to make them easier to draw
- "values" displays or hides the magnitudes and angles of the drawn vectors
- "answer" displays or hides the magnitude and direction of the resultant
- "?" creates a random 2D vector addition problem on the left for users to simulate
- click on the bottom right to reset the app
- the "scale" bar at the top can be dragged to allow different scales to fit on screen
