Interactive experiments for kids, students and teachers. Run each one right on the page, then open a copy in the Tymora editor and change mass, friction, elasticity or gravity. Every experiment comes with discussion questions and a version to try at home.
Two identical cars drive over bumps: the top one has only a spring, the bottom one a spring and a shock absorber. The top body bounces for a long time, the bottom one settles quickly.
A crank mechanism shakes the platform. A narrow tower falls, a wide house stands, and the same tower on soft springs and dampers survives the shaking.
