About
BUTURAKU is a physics simulation app that lets you explore physical phenomena through real-time animations.
Understand physics laws intuitively with beautiful visuals. Freely adjust parameters with sliders and observe how physical phenomena change in real time.
12 Simulations:
[Translational motion]
- Free Fall: Observe the effects of gravity and air resistance. Tap to add balls, swipe to throw them.
- Projectile: Adjust launch angle, initial speed, and air resistance to observe parabolic motion.
- Inclined Plane: Motion on a surface with friction. Experience sliding conditions by changing angle and friction coefficient.
- Brachistochrone: Race three balls down line, arc, and cycloid tracks under gravity. Bernoulli's classic 1696 problem - the cycloid wins.
- Energy Conservation: A ball rolls along a roller-coaster track while kinetic and potential energy swap places. Turn on friction to see mechanical energy dissipate into heat.
- Collision: 2D collisions based on conservation of momentum and kinetic energy. Momentum vector display available.
[Oscillation and periodic motion]
- Pendulum: Nonlinear pendulum with high-precision RK4 integration. Drag to set the angle.
- Double Pendulum: Coupled pendulums producing chaotic motion. Lagrangian mechanics + RK4.
- Coupled Pendulum: Two pendulums joined by a spring exchange energy periodically — the classic beat phenomenon.
- Spring: Simple harmonic motion with Hooke's law. Adjust spring constant, damping, and mass.
- Circular Motion: Uniform circular motion with centripetal force visualization (F = mω²r). Adjust radius, angular velocity, and mass.
[Waves]
- Wave: Tap to place wave sources and observe interference patterns. 2D wave equation solved numerically with finite differences.
