Each simulation has interactive control that let you manipulate parametars and observe how they affect the system. Here are the common controls you'll find:
Sliders: Adjust physical parametars like mass, velocity, force, or angle in real-time
Play / Pause: Start or stop the simulation to observe different properties
Reset: Return to its inital state

How to Learn Effectively
1. Study with Observation
Run the simulation with the deualt settings first. Watch what happens and try to predict the outcome before changing anything.
2. Change One Thing at a Time
To understand cause and effect of a certain variable, don't change all things at once.
3. Text Extreme Values
Text extreme values to see how the system behaves. Who know maybe you'll discover something new.
3. Connect to Theory
Of course, after experimenting, you need to connect the information you have just seen with theory. To do that visit the Theory page!

Common Scenarios to Explore
Projectile Motion
What happens when you throw an object at a 45 degree angle vs other angles. Which angle gives the maximum height? Maximum distance?
Pendulum
Adjust the length and initial angle. Does the period change when adjusting the mass?
Collisions
Compare elastic vs inelastic collisions. What is the difference between them. Is anything conserved?
Wave Interference
Create constructive and deconstructive interference patterns. Is photon a wave or a particle?
