🚀 Building a Physics Simulation Using Visual Studio Code, CLINE & Google Gemini 2.5 Pro

Case Study: Free Fall Simulation for the Singapore SLS Platform

💡 Introduction: A New Way to Build Simulations

Imagine generating a pedagogically sound, interactive simulation using just your words — no manual coding, no external libraries, and no clutter. Thanks to Visual Studio Code with the CLINE Extension and the power of Google Gemini Pro 2.5, this dream is now a reality.

We tested this pipeline by building a Free Fall Simulation tailored for Singapore’s MOE Secondary 3 Physics syllabus. The simulation runs entirely offline in a single HTML file — perfect for the Student Learning Space (SLS) platform.

🧠 AI Prompt used:
"Create a fully interactive, pedagogically sound, and engaging simulation using only HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (no external libraries). The output must be a single self-contained HTML file suitable for embedding within the Singapore Student Learning Space (SLS)."

🎯 Simulation Objectives

To visually demonstrate the physics of free fall motion under gravity, using adjustable sliders and dynamic graphs. This simulation aids conceptual understanding by linking kinematic equations to visual movement and data plots.

🧑‍🎓 Target Audience

• Students aged 14–18 years old

• Subject: Physics

• Level: Secondary 3 (Singapore MOE syllabus)

🧪 Core Simulation Features

1. 🪂 Topic

Free Fall of a Ball

2. 📘 Key Concepts Demonstrated

• Constant acceleration due to gravity (Earth, Moon, Mars options)

• Time of fall and final velocity

• Relationship between height, velocity, and time

• Real-time graphing of motion data

3. 🎚️ User-Controlled Variables

Variable	Control Type	Range
Initial Height (y₀)	Slider	0 m – 50 m
Initial Velocity (v₀)	Slider	-30 m/s – 30 m/s
Gravity (g)	Dropdown	Earth, Moon, Mars

4. 📊 Key Display Variables

• Time Elapsed (s)

• Current Height (m)

• Instantaneous Velocity (m/s)

• Acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)

Displayed live at the top-right of the simulation panel for quick reference.

5. 🎞️ Motion / Animation Displayed

• A ball falling vertically with realistic acceleration

• Bounce effect on impact with the ground (v = 0)

• Continuous update of velocity vector

6. 📈 Output Visualization

• Height vs. Time graph (red)

• Velocity vs. Time graph (blue)

• Both update dynamically as the simulation runs

⚙️ Technical Implementation

🛠️ Code Environment

• Visual Studio Code with CLINE Extension

• AI model: Google Gemini Pro 2.5

• Also tested with Claude 3.7 Sonnet (agentic task support)

The AI generated:

• HTML structure

• Responsive CSS for layout and accessibility

• JavaScript code with accurate kinematic modeling

All packed neatly into a single index.html file, without any external dependencies.

✅ Scientific Accuracy

• Physics equations used:

  • $v = u + at$

  • $s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

• Constant acceleration assumption (free fall only, no air resistance)
