Important Update: Touch support restored for interactive simulations

Full touch support for modern smartboards and Windows touchscreen devices has been restored to all interactive simulations on this website.

The issue was revealed when some users recently reported that draggable elements in the simulations were not responding to touch input on newer interactive whiteboards (including Promethean boards) and Windows touch-enabled devices. This significantly impacted the classroom experience for teachers and students using these technologies.

After extensive testing and development, the underlying CreateJS framework has been successfully updated to support modern pointer events. The simulations now properly handle touch input across all contemporary touch-enabled devices while maintaining backward compatibility with traditional mouse input.

What This Means for You:

  • All interactive simulations now work seamlessly on modern smartboards
  • Full touch support on Windows touchscreen devices
  • No action required on your end – the updates are already live
  • Existing functionality on other devices remains unchanged

If touch interaction issues were previously experienced, the simulations can be tried again. They should now work as intended on your devices.

As always, if any issues are encountered or questions arise, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

    Free fall experiment

    This experiment demonstrates that in the absence of air resistance, two freely falling bodies released from the same height reach the ground simultaneously. Both objects gain the same speed during their fall, proving they experience the same acceleration – the acceleration due to gravity. The demonstration explains why we typically observe heavy objects falling faster than light objects due to air resistance effects.

    Charging by Induction Simulation

    Using this simulation, you can experience the phenomenon of charging a metallic ball by induction in the first stage and charging the ball by contact in the second stage after the charged rod touches the ball. The displayed charges are for an illustrational purpose, and they are not seen in reality. You can disable the display of charges on the rod and on the ball.
    In this simulation, you can try two situations, one in which the rod is positively charged and another in which the rod is negatively charged, and you will see that the two situations result in the same observation.

    القصور الذاتي

    القصور الذاتي هو خاصية المادة التي تقاوم التغييرات في السرعة المتجهة. عندما تكبح السيارة، يميل جسمك للأمام؛ وعندما تتسارع، تميل للخلف – كلاهما يوضح القصور الذاتي عملياً. كلما زادت كتلة جسمك، كان التأثير أكثر وضوحاً. يشمل القصور الذاتي مقاومة التغييرات في كل من مقدار السرعة واتجاه الحركة، مما يجعله مفهوماً أساسياً لفهم سلوك الأجسام.
