SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on finding a suitable physics drawing program for Windows that can illustrate forces, vectors, angles, and rotations. Participants inquire about the user's operating system preferences and whether they seek paid or freeware options. A recommended resource is provided: Midnight Kite's software directory. The conversation also touches on the potential benefits of using Linux or OS X for accessing a wider range of scientific freeware.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of physics concepts such as forces and vectors.
  • Familiarity with Windows operating systems.
  • Knowledge of software types: paid vs. freeware.
  • Basic skills in 2D and 3D illustration techniques.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research physics drawing software options for Windows, such as GeoGebra and PhET Interactive Simulations.
  • Explore Midnight Kite's software directory for additional tools.
  • Investigate the advantages of using Linux or OS X for scientific applications.
  • Learn about 2D and 3D illustration techniques specific to physics problems.
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for educators, students, and researchers in physics who need effective tools for visualizing physical concepts and problems.

I am trying to find a program for Windows in order to draw forces, vectors and problems for physics. I want to illustrate angles, rotations etc.

thank you

More Imformation please.

A. What Windows Os are you wanting the S/W for ?

B. Are you wanting to pay ?

C. or do you want to use Freeware ?

In the meantime, this is a good source.

Hope it helps.

Aquafire.

PS : I'm not meaning to run Windows down..

But have you considered running Linux / Unix or OS X instead ?

These are the mainstay platforms of choice for many researchers and scientists.

Most especially because there is so much scientific freeware available to these OS's.

Are you merely looking to illustrate them? in 2D? or in 3D?
Are you also looking for the software to compute things for you?
