Methods for studying the acceleration of free fall using a virtual experiment.

This scientific article is devoted to conducting a physical laboratory with a virtual experiment. Direct presentation of physical laboratories in accordance with the requirements of the time creates many difficulties. Therefore, there is a need to develop virtual laboratories through virtual experiments to create an exhibition environment for students. In this scientific article, gravitational accelerations are measured and calculated using virtual experiments on various planets and their satellites. Under the same conditions, a virtual experiment was conducted to determine the acceleration of gravity on several planets and in different natural satellites. The length of the thread of the oscillating mathematical pendulum and the number of oscillations were the same for all objects under study. As a result, the accelerations of free fall of planets and their satellites were determined in a virtual experiment. Another scientific feature of this scientific article is that it is absolutely impossible to conduct a real experiment on some planets and natural satellites, therefore the experimental results obtained using a virtual experiment determine the novelty of the scientific article. The accuracy of the experiment, the determination of free fall accelerations on the Earth and the Moon in the virtual experiment and the agreement of the experimental results obtained with generally known values confirms the accuracy of the measurements of the rest of the virtual experiment. The authors also developed and prepared for publication virtual experimental laboratories in English and Russian for domestic and foreign students studying general physics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
