Forces / Learn
Learn physics
Read a short lesson, then try it live in the lab beside it. Forces covers classes 9 to 12 with fifteen interactive labs, three animated explainers, a 151-question quiz, ten practice games and a constants reference. Every lab has step-by-step lessons organised by class — the same "concept, then practice" approach as Re-agents' learn hub.

Labs and lessons
Mechanics playground
Projectile motion, free fall, pendulum/SHM and collisions — sliders for mass, angle, velocity and gravity, with live v-t and s-t graphs.
labWork, power & energy lab
Work at any angle, the work–energy theorem on a rough slope, energy conservation on a loop-the-loop track, and the power of a car and a motor — with live energy bars and worked explanations.
labNewton's laws & friction lab
Force and motion (inertia, F = ma), static and kinetic friction, a block on a rough slope with the angle of repose, strings and contact forces, and a person on a scale in a lift — with free-body diagrams and worked explanations.
labRefraction & prisms lab
Snell's law and total internal reflection, a glass slab and apparent depth, a prism that splits white light, an optical fibre and the lens-maker's formula traced ray by ray.
labMagnetism lab
Charges in magnetic fields (circles, helices, the velocity selector, mass spectrometer and cyclotron), the fields of a wire, a loop and a solenoid, and forces on currents with the motor effect.
labGravitation lab
Kepler's laws with real planets and Halley's comet, satellites and Newton's cannon, the escape speed, how g changes above and inside a planet, and two stars circling their centre of mass.
labFluids & elasticity lab
Pressure and Pascal's law, buoyancy, Bernoulli's principle, Torricelli's jet, viscosity, surface tension and capillary rise, and stress, strain and Young's modulus.
labCircuit builder
Build a custom series or parallel circuit and watch the current flow, then run the class 12 experiments: Kirchhoff's laws, charging a capacitor, Wheatstone and meter bridges, the potentiometer, ammeters and voltmeters, cells in a battery and the drift of electrons.
labOptics lab
Draggable ray diagrams for concave/convex mirrors and lenses, with a live two-ray construction and real/virtual/erect/inverted classification.
labWaves & sound lab
A wave on a string, standing waves, organ pipes and the resonance tube, beats, two-source interference, Young's double slit and diffraction, the Doppler effect and sound intensity in decibels.
labRotational motion sandbox
Torque and balance, a rolling-shapes race, and a spinning disk that conserves angular momentum.
labThermodynamics visualizer
A kinetic-theory gas box and the four PV processes, heat engines and the Carnot cycle, calorimetry and latent heat, conduction, radiation, Newton's law of cooling, thermal expansion and the speeds of gas molecules.
labElectricity & magnetism lab
Draggable charges with real traced field lines, a moving magnet inducing EMF, and a live R-L-C phasor diagram.
labModern physics
Bohr's hydrogen orbits, the photoelectric effect and semiconductor bands as animated explainers, plus radioactivity and an interactive nuclear lab: the decay law, radioactive dating, alpha, beta and gamma radiation, binding energy, fission and fusion.
explainerLogic gate lab
