The Ramp Description

Free simulation where you explore forces, energy and other actions when pushing an object down a ramp The Ramp is a free and easy to use simulation where you explore forces, energy and work as you push household objects up and down a ramp.Lower and raise the ramp to see how the angle of inclination affects the parallel forces acting on the file cabinet. Graphs show forces, energy and work. Requirements: · Java 1.5 or later What's New in This Release: · Looks good. · I think this was only clearing the heat for the ramp/block colors, now this feature has been removed. · I think this bug was in the plot readouts. · Fixed this for plot & bar graph states, and the frictionless checkbox. · I've simply increased the stroke size for the applied force plot. Looks ok.
