About Forces · Physics
Physics you can drag, slide and measure
Free, open tools for students who learn better by seeing motion than by reading about it — eleven interactive sandboxes plus animated modern-physics explainers, all in the browser.
Mechanics
Projectile motion, free fall, pendulum and collisions, with live v–t and s–t graphs.
Circuit builder
Build series and parallel circuits with up to 15 parts and watch the current flow.
Optics
Mirrors, lenses and ray diagrams with a draggable object and focal point.
Waves & sound
Standing waves, two-source interference and the Doppler effect.
Rotational motion
Torque and balance, a rolling-shapes race, and angular momentum.
Thermodynamics
A gas box with real measured pressure, plus PV diagrams for four processes.
Electricity & magnetism
Field lines, electromagnetic induction and a live R-L-C phasor diagram.
Logic gates
Wire AND, OR, NOT and more into circuits, then check the output step by step.
Modern physics
Animated explainers: Bohr model, photoelectric effect and semiconductor bands.
Why this exists
Physics gets taught as formulas to memorise long before students ever see the motion, the circuit, or the ray those formulas describe. Forces flips that: drag the pendulum, build the circuit, move the object past the lens — and watch the graph or the image form in real time, then connect it back to the equation.
Forces brings together eleven interactive labs, three animated explainers, ten practice games, a 151-question quiz and a constants reference — built the same way as Re-agents (iLabs' chemistry side): one real, verified simulation at a time rather than a big all-at-once promise.
Frequently asked questions
What is Forces?
iLabs' physics lab: eleven interactive labs (mechanics, work, power & energy, Newton's laws & friction, refraction & prisms, circuits, optics, waves & sound, rotation, thermodynamics, electricity & magnetism, logic gates), three modern-physics explainers, ten practice games, a 151-question quiz and a constants reference — for classes 9 to 12.
Is Forces free? Do I need an account?
Every tool is free with no account or sign-up.
Who is it for?
School students following classes 9 to 12 physics, and anyone who learns better by watching a simulation than by reading about one. Advanced topics are planned.
