Most of the animated illustrations and all of the interactive simulations on this site were created using the wonderful GeoGebra software. Being retired now, I actually have more free time to work on new projects. Please click my name above to send me feedback about these simulations or suggestions for new simulations I could create. I recently retired after teaching high school physics for 27 years, and AP Physics for 25 years. Content will be added as time allows.Īll of the content on this site was created by me, Tom Walsh. It is a work in progress, and likely always will be. The oPhysics website is a collection of interactive physics simulations. Select a simulation from one of the above categories or click on a category to see descriptions of the simulations for that category.
