And I'm not asking for recommendations, but I'm asking a specific question about whether this kind of software exists or not, so there should be a clear answer to this question. | |

| May 19, 2019 at 7:50 | comment | added | KF Gauss | Just realized that you would want students to use the software! In that case blender is probably too complicated. | |
| May 19, 2019 at 7:49 | comment | added | KF Gauss | I know Blender can do physics simulations ranging from simple to complex and is mostly gui based, have you already considered that? I can't comment on its exact accuracy, but I imagine it should get gravity and rolling correctly. | |

| May 18, 2019 at 7:55 | comment | added | ttsc | Ok, maybe I misused the words when I talked about exact numerical results. I mean that they should be accurate enough for the students to be able to confirm their results. I would say that if the four most significant digits are correct, then it is accurate enough. | |
| May 18, 2019 at 7:52 | comment | added | ttsc | I checked Mathematica Classroom Edition, but it was difficult to find information about what it can do and how the user interface works or how to do physics experiments with it. I'm not very familiar with Mathematica, but I have understood that it is basically a programming language. Of course I could write the simulations in Python or Octave or any other language, but it would be a lot of work to write a python program for each simulation. In order for it to work in the classroom, the solution would need to be a lot easier to use. | |
| May 18, 2019 at 7:25 | comment | added | Umaxo | 1.) there are no exact numerical results. 2.) a lot can be done in MS excel. I used it at high school for everything | |
| May 18, 2019 at 7:16 | comment | added | G. Smith | Wolfram Mathematica (store.wolfram.com/view/app/mathematica/standard-classroom) can do this (and so much more). There is probably comparable software that is free but I don’t have experience with it. | |
