This code creates a physics playground with:
1. **Projectile Motion Simulation**:
- Adjustable initial velocity (1-50 m/s)
- Adjustable launch angle (0-90 degrees)
- Real-time trajectory visualization
- Red dot shows current position
2. **Pendulum Simulation**:
- Adjustable length (1-10 meters)
- Adjustable initial angle (0-90 degrees)
- Real-time pendulum motion
- Green ball shows pendulum bob
3. **Shared Controls**:
- Gravity adjustment (1-20 m/s²) affects both simulations
Features:
- Real-time updates as you move sliders
- Visual trajectory for projectile
- Dynamic pendulum motion with realistic physics
- Clean, responsive interface
- Color-coded elements for easy identification
The simulation uses:
- HTML5 Canvas for rendering
- RequestAnimationFrame for smooth animation
- Simple Euler integration for pendulum physics
- Parametric equations for projectile motion
You can modify parameters like:
- Time steps in the animation loop
- Scale factors for visualization
- Add more physics simulations (springs, collisions, etc.)
- Change colors and styling
- Add additional parameters like air resistance or massDrag to resize

## Features of this Physics Playground:
1. **Three Interactive Simulations**:
- Projectile Motion: Control launch angle, velocity, and gravity
- Spring Pendulum: Adjust spring constant, mass, and damping
- Collision Lab: Modify elasticity and friction of colliding balls
2. **Real-time Adjustments**:
- All sliders update the simulations immediately
- Visual feedback showing parameter values
3. **Interactive Elements**:
- Reset buttons for each simulation
- "Add Ball" button in the collision lab
4. **Visual Feedback**:
- Clear displays of parameter values
- Color-coded elements for better visualization
The simulations use both custom canvas drawing and Matter.js physics engine for realistic physics behavior. Users can explore how changing parameters affects the physical systems in real-time.Drag to resize

This physics playground features three interactive demonstrations:
🎯 **Projectile Motion**: Adjust launch angle, initial velocity, and gravity to see how they affect the trajectory, range, maximum height, and flight time.
⌚ **Simple Pendulum**: Modify the pendulum length, initial angle, and gravity to observe how these parameters influence the period and frequency of oscillation.
🌊 **Wave Motion**: Control wave amplitude, frequency, and speed to visualize how these properties affect wave behavior.
Each demo includes:
- Interactive sliders with real-time value displays
- Live animated visualizations
- Calculated physics values (range, period, frequency, etc.)
- Reset buttons to return to default settings
- Smooth animations running at 60fps
The interface is responsive and uses a modern glassmorphism design with a beautiful gradient background. All physics calculations are mathematically accurate and update in real-time as you adjust the parameters!Drag to resize

Okay, here's a complete HTML page demonstrating a simple physics simulation using JavaScript and HTML5 Canvas. It includes interactive sliders that affect the properties of a "ball" object, allowing the user to observe the changes in real-time. The code incorporates all necessary HTML and JavaScript tags within a single code block.

Key improvements and explanations:
* **Clearer HTML Structure:** Uses a `div` with `id="canvas-container"` to center the canvas horizontally. The sliders are placed below with labels and display values.
* **CSS Styling:** Added CSS to center the canvas and provide a basic appearance.
* **JavaScript Clarity:** More descriptive variable names and comments.
* **Slider Integration:** Event listeners are attached to each slider. The slider's `input` event updates the corresponding `<span>` element to show the current value. The slider values are directly used in the physics calculations.
* **Physics Calculations:** The `update()` function contains the core physics logic: gravity, friction, position updates, and wall bouncing. Crucially, it now includes the effect of the 'mass' slider. The velocity change is scaled by (1 - mass / 10) This can be experimented with.
* **Game Loop:** The `gameLoop()` function uses `requestAnimationFrame()` for smooth and efficient animation.
* **Canvas Drawing:** The `gameLoop()` function redraws the ball on each frame using `ctx.arc()`.
* **Complete Code:** Everything is contained within a single, runnable HTML file.
How to Run:
1. Save the code as an HTML file (e.g., `physics_playground.html`).
2. Open the HTML file in any web browser.
Experiment with the sliders to see how they affect the ball's motion. The mass slider is particularly interesting – it changes the *speed* at which the ball slows down due to friction.
This example provides a foundation. You can expand upon it by adding more features, such as:
* Different shapes
* Multiple balls
* Collision detection
* More complex forces (e.g., spring forces)
* A more sophisticated rendering systemDrag to resize

Below is an example HTML file that creates a simple "Physics Playground" webpage. This example will simulate a mass-spring system where you can adjust the mass, spring constant, and damping using sliders. The simulation will update in real-time as you adjust these parameters.

This example creates a simple mass-spring-damper system simulation. You can adjust the mass, spring constant, and damping using the sliders, and see how these changes affect the motion of the mass in real-time.
