Sandbox and play
8 ready-made scenes and Python scripts. Each opens in the studio; press Play to run it, then change anything: masses, lengths, the forces, what the graphs show.
- Wrecking Ball
A 20 kg ball on an arm released from 58° swings into a wall of bricks. - Lever Catapult
A weight dropped on one end of a lever throws the small ball on the other end. - Dominoes
Fourteen dominoes and a rolling ball. A chain of falls: try moving one to change the spacing. - Drop Zone: Cut the Chain
A 25 kg weight hangs on a chain over a pyramid of crates. Pick the Slice tool (Build → Modify) and drag across the chain to cut it. - Galton Board Research
100 balls drift down through twelve rows of pegs: each peg is a coin toss, and the bins fill into the binomial bell curve (the green marks show the expected heights). - Chain Reaction Research
Dominoes knock a ball down a ramp, the ball swings a hammer, the hammer rings a bell. The graph follows the energy from stage to stage. - How fast do dominoes fall? A sweep of the spacing Python Research
Six rows of dominoes with different spacings fall at once: the speed of the falling front against d/h, and the fastest spacing. - Build a scene in a loop: a pyramid of boxes Python Research
A pyramid made by loops, then a heavy ball thrown at it.
