Admins, either this page has been processed already, or someone made a request to update an existing page. See what's different. (Admins may also edit that page.)

Admins, when you are done incorporating any needed changes from this page into a main entry, please edit this page and change the following text from: |Finished review=No to: |Finished review=yes. This helps keep submissions organized. (Note that doing this isn't what adds the entry to the directory.)

Name	FísicaLab
Short description	Educational application for physics.
Full description	FisicaLab (can be pronounced as PhysicsLab) is an educational application to solve physics problems. Its main objective is let the user to focus in physics concepts, leaving aside the mathematical details (FisicaLab take care of them). This allows the user to become familiar with the physical concepts without running the risk of getting lost in mathematical details. And so, when the user gain confidence in applying physical concepts, will be better prepared to solve the problems by hand (with pen and paper). The latest release of FisicaLab have the following modules: Kinematics of particles in 2D. Circular kinematics of particles in 2D. Static of particles in 2D. Static of rigid bodies in 2D. Dynamics of particles in 2D. Circular dynamics of particles in 2D. Heat, calorimetry, ideal gas and expansion. The static and dynamics problems are entered constructing the free body diagrams of the objects. Although FísicaLab is easy and intuitive, we recommend you read the help files first before set any problem. The help panel is available at menu Info -> Help (or FisicaLab -> Info -> Help, depending on what interface style is used)

Version comment	This is major new version that brings improvements to interface and new elements and modules: The conversion factors are now available from a contextual menu. Basic mathematical operations can be done at table entries. Also can be used some useful functions like: cos(), sin(), hypot()... A yellow square is drawn around the element whose data is displayed in the table. Leaving the mouse cursor over an element in the chalkboard, its data is displayed in a tooltip. Has been added a preferences panel to configure the chalkboard size (in cells) and the font size in tooltips. Circular kinematics of particles: Changes in the entries of some elements. For example the Angular Velocity element now has entries for the initial and final angular velocity. Dynamics of particles: Removed the element Explosion. These problems can be done in the new module. In the modules of Static has been added an element to relate angles. Static of rigid bodies: This module has been extended to allow solve trusses problems. Also there are elements to represent beams of two forces. New module Circular Dynamics of Particles.
