3D block tower: stability and impact
A 3D tower of blocks and a heavy ball crashing into it. Orbit the camera and see why the tower falls. Physics for kids 6+.
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.

A platform tilts slowly. The tall narrow bus tips first, the low one second, the wide one last. A bus in a turn behaves the same way.
The platform sways from side to side. A tower of ten cubes falls almost at once while a pyramid of ten cubes stands.
