Closed access Metadata (CSL-JSON)
DOI 10.1002/cae.70218
Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Recent advancements in computer science have made simulation technologies increasingly accessible and effective for educational purposes. This paper presents a curated collection of interactive simulations developed using the MuJoCo physics engine, designed to support and enhance the teaching of physics (classical mechanics). Building on prior research advocating the use of simulations in physics education, this work introduces a structured and publicly available set of simulations that visually represent key physical phenomena. These simulations, developed with clear documentation and parameter flexibility, are designed to support theoretical understanding and facilitate practical exploration. Hosted on GitHub and Google Colab platforms, they offer educators and students a user‐friendly resource that can support exploration of classical mechanics concepts.
