Five free, interactive tools that let you see the physics instead of just calculating it — launch a projectile, wire up a circuit, add two waves, watch a sample decay, or stretch a spring, and every quantity updates live with its formula. Each simulator is anchored to the Cambridge IGCSE 0625 and IB Physics syllabus (tagged per tool) and runs on the exact examinable equations. No login, works on any device. Built by the GetYourTutors Academic Team in Dubai.
Set the launch angle, speed and height and watch the trajectory, velocity components, range, maximum height and time of flight update live.
Build series, parallel or combination circuits and see total resistance, current, voltage and power — Ohm’s law with the current flowing on the schematic.
Add two sinusoidal waves to explore interference, standing waves and beats — with wavelength, frequency, speed (v = fλ) and the resultant drawn live.
Set the number of nuclei and the half-life, then scrub through several half-lives and watch N(t), activity and the exponential decay curve.
Stretch single, series or parallel springs and read the extension and elastic energy off a live force–extension graph (gradient k, area = energy).
Physics is easier to learn when you can watch the relationships change. These simulators are deliberately bounded to the examinable models — the clean, syllabus-level version of each topic — so what you see matches what the exam asks for. Where a topic has an interesting “beyond the syllabus” extension (air resistance, internal resistance, the elastic limit), it is an optional toggle that is clearly labelled, never the default.
They pair naturally with one-to-one tuition: use a simulator to build intuition, then work through past-paper questions with a physics tutor in Dubai to turn that intuition into marks.

What the tools are, which curricula they cover, and how they help.
They are free, interactive tools that let you see a physics idea happen rather than just read about it. Drag the sliders and the simulator draws the result in real time — a projectile’s arc, current flowing round a circuit, two waves adding together, a sample decaying, or a spring stretching — with the key quantities and their formulas updating live. Each one is built around the exact equations from the syllabus.
Every simulator is mapped to the relevant Cambridge IGCSE Physics 0625 topic and the matching IB Physics topic, shown as tags on each tool: projectile motion (0625 1.2 / IB A.1), circuits (0625 4.2–4.3 / IB B.5), waves and superposition (0625 3.1 / IB C.3–C.4), radioactive decay (0625 5.2 / IB E.3) and Hooke’s law (0625 1.5 / IB A.2–A.3). They also suit GCSE, A-Level and AP physics students studying the same core ideas.
Yes — every simulator is completely free to use and there is no login, sign-up or download. Open the tool and start experimenting straight away, on any device.
Yes. The controls use touch-friendly sliders and the layout adapts to small screens, so the simulators work on phones and tablets as well as laptops — handy for a quick check during revision.
Each simulator computes a deterministic result from the exact syllabus formulas (for example F = k·x for springs, or N = N₀·e^(−λt) for decay), in full precision, and rounds only for display. The physics engines are separately unit-tested against hand-worked values. They are teaching aids that show the ideal, examinable model, not laboratory measurements.
A simulator makes an idea visible; a tutor makes it stick. A GetYourTutors physics specialist who comes to your home in Dubai can use these visuals as a starting point, then work through past-paper questions, fix the specific misconceptions your child holds, and build exam technique — for IGCSE, GCSE, A-Level, IB and AP physics.
