The Light
Cone: Twin Paradox Applet
Twin Paradox Applet This is the first of a series of
visualizations for explaining aspects of the theory of
relativity. This applet draws a spacetime diagram for the Twin
Paradox. The user can graphically perform Lorentz and Galilean
transformations. By Rob Salgado (Syracuse).
Acceleration
Wuzzlers Map-based
relativity allows one to solve constant acceleration problems at
any speed, almost as easily as one might solve the Galilean
constant acceleration problems common in today's introductory
physics classes. This list of mini-wuzzlers, with equations,
hints, and solutions where available, is meant to cover the full
range of uni-directional constant acceleration problem types.
