These physics applets involve astrophysics, energy and environment, mechanics, and thermodynamics. The astrophysics applets are related to spectroscopy, photometry, orbital mechanics and cosmology, and include a simulation of colliding galaxies. The energy and environment applets are about weather, exponential growth, voltage, work, population growth and units, and include simulators of the global warming greenhouse effect and circuits. The mechanics applets involve motion in one and two dimensions, friction, energy conservation, and gravity as it relates to Kepler's third law. The thermodynamics applets explore the ideal gas law, Maxwellian velocity distribution, and thermodynamic equilibrium. There are also tools such as a graphing applet, FitsReader, and a spreadsheet.
