A simple physics simulation that shows why a feather and a stone fall at different speeds and what happens when you remove the air.
Used AI to help me figure out the drag formula and the gravity equations because i didnt fully understand how to calculate them myself.
I built a small physics project to show how objects fall in air vs vaccum. The main idea was to show that gravity is same, but air resistance makes a big difference. The hardest part was making the animation feel correct and fixing deployment issues (my file name was wrong at first), but I figured it out. I’m happy with how it turned out and learned both physics concept and some real deployment stuff.
During deployment, the updated UI was not showing because the main file was named “airVvacuum.html” instead of “index.html”. After renaming it and redeploying, the issue was fixed.

I created a simulation to show how objects fall in air and in vaccum. First, I designed the basic layout using HTML and CSS, then used JavaScript to add the falling animation. I applied the concept of gravity in both cases, and added air resistance only in the air part, so it falls slower compared to vaccum.
