PhysicsWorld 
		 
PhysicsWorld is a physics simulation environment which incorporates particles with among other attributes, user-defined initial positions, velocities, charges and masses and radii.    Coefficients of resistive forces may be added to individual particles to simulate air resistance or viscosity as well as an arbitrary constant external acceleration.  User-defined external fields with electric, gravitational, and magnetic properties may be placed in the system as well along with straight wall boundaries.  Connections may also be made using springs attached to either a particle and a fixed point, or between two particles.

Quick Start instructions

Use the Particle, External Field, Boundary, and Connection Inspectors to create particles, fields, boundaries, and springs.  Click on the Start button to begin the simulation.  Clicking on the Init button will restart the simulation.
