This interactive simulation models a submarine moving through water, demonstrating how gravity, upthrust (buoyancy), and drag forces interact to control vertical motion and equilibrium. Learners can adjust variables and observe real-time changes in force balance, acceleration, and depth, building intuitive understanding of pressure and buoyancy principles underwater.
Learning objectives: Understand how buoyancy and gravity forces determine submarine equilibrium | Explore the effect of drag force on acceleration and terminal velocity | Investigate pressure relationships and force balance in fluid environments
Submarine with realistic gravity force, upthrust buoyancy force and drag force
