The Interactive Physics^TM program is a very powerful tool in creating physics simulations, and it is easy to use once you "get the hang" of it. Get a copy of the Interactive Physics^TM Quick Reference Card from your teacher if you don't have one. It will show you how to find your way around the various menus and tool bars of the program. If you have a question about how to accomplish something in Interactive Physics^TM, the following list should point you in the right direction - if not, let me know.

In the Interactive Physics^TM program, how do I:

Give an object a particular acceleration?
Show an object's acceleration vector?
Increase the simulation's accuracy?
Anchor an object?
Get axes in the window?
Create and attach a bar?
Change the color of an object?
Create a control for an object?
Keep an object from falling?
Exert a force on an object?
Turn a force on or off?
Show a force vector acting on an object?
Change gravity?
Add labels to a simulation?
Create a new mass?
Change an object's mass?
Measure an object's velocity, acceleration, etc.?
Change the name of an object to something meaningful?
Create a new object?
Attach a picture to an object?
Change an object's position?
Open an object's Properties window?
Create and attach a rope?
Run the simulation?
Select multiple objects?
Add text to a simulation?
Attach a vector to an object?
Show an object's velocity vector?
Change an object's velocity?
Zoom in or out?
