A realistic physics simulator that demonstrates the effects of dropping objects from various heights in different environments.
- Single & Dual Drop Modes: Compare how different objects fall
- Multiple Objects: Feathers, pennies, baseballs, bowling balls, and more
- Different Environments: Earth, Moon, Mars, Jupiter, or custom settings
- Real Physics: Accurate calculations including air resistance and terminal velocity
- Interactive Charts: Real-time velocity, distance, height, and acceleration graphs
- Impact Analysis: Calculates kinetic energy and potential injury outcomes

in any modern web browser - Choose your simulation mode (Single or Dual Drop)
- Select objects and drop height
- Pick an environment (Earth, Moon, Mars, etc.)
- Click "Start Simulation" to watch the physics in action
The simulator uses realistic formulas for:
- Free fall:
v = √(2gh)
- Terminal velocity effects
- Kinetic energy:
KE = ½mv²
- Air resistance based on object properties
This tool helps visualize physics concepts like:
- Gravity's effect on different objects
- Air resistance vs vacuum conditions
- Terminal velocity
- Energy transfer on impact
