Galileo

It performs virtual experiments in the field of Mechanics. After inserting objects into the 3D scene, it is possible to change the variables of the physical environment, the physical properties of the objects and apply forces to them, observing, in real time, the reaction of objects to shocks and forces.

Application: Starting from the 8th grade of middle school’s science curriculum and, more specifically, in Physics. The indicated grade may vary according to the proposed curriculum.

Features

Insertion of diverse 3D objects as balls, cones, ramps, ropes, springs, curves, vehicles, among others, in addition to objects of measurement of distance and angle

Change, in real time, of the variables of the physical environment as gravity, air resistance and time scale

Change of physical properties specific to each object in the scene, like mass, friction coefficient, coefficient of restitution, position, speed, external force applied and dimensions, as well as specific properties such as elastic coefficient of springs

Real-time observation of the results arising from the changes in both the physical environment and in the objects inserted in the scene

Display of strength vectors, speed and acceleration

Real-time generation of graphics relating to the variation of the properties in time

Project file generation (virtual experiments) that can be later changed

Recording of scene states, feature that allows you to store numerous simulations from the same experiment, each with their own parameters

Production of 3D interactive animations that can be reproduced with the Educalabs Player

Generation of frames and trajectory lines for each of the objects in motion

Free navigation through the 3D scene and observation of the virtual experiment from any viewpoint
