About this Simulation

This simulation models how air drag affects objects under applied force using a push model framework. Learners can adjust forward force, mass, velocity, and drag parameters to observe how resistance forces influence acceleration and motion. Explore the relationship between pushing force, air resistance, and object velocity in real-time.

Learning objectives: Understand how air drag force opposes motion and varies with velocity | Investigate the balance between applied force and drag resistance | Predict and analyse how mass and drag coefficients affect dynamic behaviour
