Physics Virtual Laboratory, PVL Short Description:
Intuitively-Easy-To-Use set of 113+ Physics simulators for teaching & learning
|
Physics Virtual Laboratory, PVL Long Description:
An Intuitively Easy-To-Use collection of -at least- 113 interactive Physics simulation modules that allow the user to simulate and visualize Physics experiments.
Useful from High School to University. PVL may be used (1) during classes, to support the teacher's explanation and to make classes more interesting, (2) in the library by students, to review the topics covered in classes (3) at home by students to run experiments with the student's data, even extreme experiments, which result in a better grasping of studied topics. The teacher may also use the PVL to prepare classes and suggest experiments.
In a conventional (traditional) Physics laboratory it is impossible to execute experiments with extreme parameters, for instance it is impossible to shot a gun, because it is dangerous, it is impossible to make changes in the acceleration of gravity, it is not possible to carry out experiments in "Slow Motion" or to settle a "time freezing". The PVL overcomes all these drawbacks.
PVL Special Features .-
-Experiment pause (Time freezing): inttroduces a pause in the execution of an experiment, usually a pause is used to display vectors (forces, velocities, etc)
-Slow Motion: executes an experiment sslowly enough for the user to appreciate the behaviour of the system.
-Extreme parameters experimentation: AAllows experimentation with parameters that if used in real life would produce damage to the equipment or harm the user.
-Visualization of vectors: Usually wheen the pause button is pressed some vectors are displayed. (forces, velocities, accelerations, etc)
Using the screen as a blackboard.-
In many experiments the user is free to use the screen as a blackboard, this means that the user may place vectors, blocks, masses, etc wherever he/she wants on screen, and as many as space allows for. This allows comparative teaching or learning, since the user is allowed to see several instances of an experiment simultaneously. <>

Care for Your Optical Disks
by Peter Paul
An optical disc is an electronic data storage medium that can be written to and read using a low-powered laser beam. Similar to the other eras, laser technology has also marked its place in the field of data storage also. Optical Disks (CDs and DVDs) provide a pleasure to us for storing and sharing photos, documents, movies and music. Now optical disks have wonderful data storage capacity of up to six gigabytes.Like other storage media optical disks is no exception. This may happen th...
Community Plumbing---made possible with Drupal Community Features
by Fat Jack
Till the end of the last millennium, the internet could not provide us with far reaching applications for having discussions and sharing files. This led Dries--- the coder of Drupal--- still a student of Antwerp University to develop a small news site with a built-in web board, for exchanging messages with a close group of friends. After the group graduated from the college, they put this internal website online so they could stay in touch and Dries chose Drop.org as its domain name. The word...

Spyware - The Internet's True Enemies
by Isaiah Henry
Spyware into our computers might be pretty difficult to handle and it brings in a lot of disturbance to the computer. The major aim of these spywares is that they act as a spy for several advertising and marketing companies after they get into the computer. They indulge in your private life and peep into your likes and dislikes in surfing. These also make themselves aware of the sites which you prefer the most. Spyware can creep into your computer and record your web browsing history and...
