#ITeachPhysics I've added animation to my #desmos "potential energy function" graph. A few premade U(x) functions are available, or you can write your own!

One of my summer projects was to update and catalog many of the #Desmos graphs/sims I use when #ITeachPhysics. This page shows what I've made and has permalinks to any future updates of the graphs. I'll still post here about new ones and updates of course!
Hey all, #Desmos Studio has an opening for a product manager to join our growing team. If you think you'd be a good fit for the role, please apply. https://desmos.pinpointhq.com/en/postings/43b27988-15e1-429f-a06f-983b9b099259
@kaveinthran This is why the command to add a new expression in the #Desmos graphing calculator is CTRL+ALT+X. CTRL+ALT+N to restart NVDA was really cramping my style.
Spent a loooot of time during my break this week adding many new features to my #Desmos about the Doppler effect. I'm not done tweaking it but it's getting close. Please take a look and give me feedback. #ITeachPhysics
What's confusing? What needs work?
Grading my momentum/collisions quiz, and seeing students try to solve every collision using constant-KE even though I told them I have to penalize people every year for that exact error.
So I wasted some time making a graph of the solution sets you get from different methods. #ITeachPhysics #Desmos

My thanks to the Eyes on Success podcast for having me on to talk about the #accessible #math tools we’re building at #Desmos and what led me here: www.EyesOnSuccess.net/eos_2346_podcast.mp3
I am the type of person who will complain about Desmos not working using the \sum
and \prod
operators to index a variable subscript while at the same time not being enrolled in any type of math class
anyway I made metaballs in Desmos :)

Stupid #math of the day: graphing the distance to the floor according to the stretching of the muscle when doing a split.
If I didn't mess anything, the green curve hints that the distance to the floor remains roughly linearly correlated with the stretch of the muscle as we get closer and closer to the ground.
Which means if progress slows down it's essentially due to the muscle being harder to stretch and not because of angle illusion or something :(

Alright, I think I finally have a decent sandbox for my 1D signed distance debugging.
A few seconds after I finally managed to hack a gradient in #desmos the website crashed my session (can't access the website anymore unless logged of)
Anyway, that's starting to be a pretty good sandbox for debugging 1D signed distances.
The gradient trick: rgb() and hls() create colors but you can't use a continuous value such as x, so you sample them like a cavem^Wengineer on the x-axis. Then you use t for a constant continuous y-axis value: (G,t), which you can then move around

I've made some updates to my #Desmos simulation of two-source wave #interference.
https://www.desmos.com/calculator/p21l3jxr3e
It now has...
* optional shading to smoothly illustrate the net amplitude in different areas.
* the choice between exact hyperbolic solutions for the maxima or the approximate linear maxima regions typically discussed in double-slit interference
* a single curve/ray at an order/path-difference of your choice even if it's not an extremum
For my #APPhysics students I threw together a #Desmos simulation to illustrate field cancelation inside a spherical shell, a la Newton's "shell theorem".
For visual simplicity this is 2D only! It uses a ring and 1/r force rule as an *analogy* for a spherical shell in our 3D universe with a 1/r^2 force.
As you increase the number of particles in the ring, the results approach the theoretical limit as described by the shell theorem with a zero net field on the interior.
Hey #artist wannabees learning #perspective
Here are 2 interactive #desmos demos to play with to get comfortable with 1 and 2 points linear perspective. I don't know if that helps much, but it was a lot of fun to make.
The 3+ points perspectives are left as an exercise to whoever wants to do it.

Alright #ITeachPhysics folks, I've finished(?) the #Desmos graph I've been working on during spare moments for a couple weeks:
https://www.desmos.com/calculator/pfzedtpi7y
It illustrates torque & cross product ideas with three corresponding diagrams that you can choose between: (1) a force vector at the point of application with optional component displays, (2) a "flat" common-origin diagram with dot-IN/x-OUT symbol for the torque, and (3) an in-perspective common-origin diagram to help with the 3D-ness of it all.
I've made a few more updates to my #Desmos graph for illustrating vector dot products.
It's now built in a way that lets you easily change the angle while keeping the magnitudes fixed! You can control the vectors with sliders in the expression list OR with draggable points in the graph area.
