Frequently asked questions

Is Motion Magic free?

Yes! Motion Magic is absolutely free at this moment. During this time, all core features are open so the system can be tested, refined, and shaped by real use. Access and feature availability may change as the platform matures, but the focus right now is building a solid, high-quality learning tool rather than enforcing limits.

How is Motion Magic different from ChatGPT for physics?

ChatGPT explains physics using text. Motion Magic solves physics by building the actual system. Instead of giving you a written explanation or symbolic math alone, Motion Magic turns the problem into an interactive simulation with forces, motion, and constraints explicitly modeled. Every diagram, vector, and calculation is grounded in a physical scene you can inspect, manipulate, and verify.

Who is Motion Magic for?

Motion Magic is for students learning physics who want to understand how problems behave, not just obtain answers. It is designed for high school and college students studying mechanics, as well as instructors who want a visual, verifiable way to demonstrate physical systems. It fits learners who think spatially and benefit from seeing forces and motion evolve rather than reading static equations.

What physics topics does Motion Magic support?

Motion Magic focuses on classical mechanics. Supported topics include kinematics, Newton’s laws, free body diagrams, forces, motion on inclines, basic collisions, velocity and acceleration analysis, and constraint-based systems. Coverage expands incrementally as the simulator and solver mature, with emphasis on correctness and physical transparency rather than broad but shallow topic lists.

How accurate is Motion Magic?

Motion Magic uses deterministic physics engines and symbolic math to compute results directly from the modeled system. Forces, constraints, and equations are explicitly defined and numerically solved rather than inferred from patterns. Accuracy depends on how the scene is defined, but given correct inputs, the results follow standard classical mechanics without approximation shortcuts or hidden assumptions.

What makes Motion Magic an AI simulator instead of a solver?

Unlike static solvers, Motion Magic's AI understands the context to guide your reasoning. It can show the full answer when you need it, but its goal is to help you think like a physicist while keeping every calculation visible and verifiable.
