The goal of the study is to create Visual Basic and MATHCAD apps to create programs that show the core force using physical forces as an example. The research subjects are high school teachers and students; the inherent context is high school STEM courses. Programs for computer visualization have been developed, and theoretical investigations have been conducted. They are used to determine how planets move in relation to the stars, simulate a particle’s motion in the gravitational field along elliptical, parabolic, and hyperbolic trajectories, validate the second and third Kepler laws, simulate the deflection of alpha particles in the atomic nucleus’ repulsion field, and model a particle’s motion in a field of force that defies the law of inverse squares. Following a series of tests, the ball’s trajectories on the glass plane were found to be hyperbola, parabola, elliptical, and circular. The created programs are compatible with current Visual Basic and MathCAD visualization techniques for physical phenomena, and they can be used to teach math, computer science, and astronomy. They can also serve as the foundation for future studies on the central force distribution in particle motion.
