GeoGebra Bubbles = Interactive Bubbles
This activity is from the Spanish GeoGebra book Cómo se hace... con GeoGebra.
This construction uses javascript code based on the previous construction, which allows simulating the elastic collision of several circles or "bubbles". At all times we can:
- Change the positions of the bubbles. Just drag the desired bubble.
- Show or hide velocity vectors.
- Change the length and direction of their velocities. To do this, it is recommended to stop the animation (clicking on the almost invisible Play/Stop button, in the bottom left corner of the graphical view) momentarily and move the arrowheads (velocity vectors) as desired.
- Change the number of bubbles, up to a maximum of 20.
- Change the radius of the bubbles, up to a maximum of 2 units.
- Change the speed of the animation.
