Registed user can get files related to this applet for offline access.If java program did not show up, please download and install latest Java RUN TIMEor The uniform circular motion is intimately related to a simple harmonic motion.
If we were to look at a side view of the uniform circular motion on a thumbtack stuck on a rotating table, we would see the thumbtack oscillate in simple harmonic motion.
Press Start to begin the animation.
The black dot will move in uniform circular motion.
Watch and find out the relation between uniform circular motion and simple harmonic motion.
Press left mouse button to suspend the animation, press it again to resume.
Did you find out the frequency of the uniform circular motion?
The red arrow represents the velocity of the black dot.
The yellow arrow and the blue arrow are components of the above velocity vector.
Did you know when the thumbtack has maximum velocity ?
If you click the left mouse button within the dark-gray area , and drag the mouse button left/right,
you can rotate the circle about the vertical axis. (sample picture)
You can rotate the circle 90 degree => side view of the motion.
( This feature was added as a request from B. Surendranath Reddy.)

Subject: your webpage Date: 8 Feb 99 16:40:40 PST From: shefali oza < shefalib@netscape.net> To: hwang@phy03.phy.ntnu.edu.tw WOW! my physics teacher (Mrs. Woolard) suggested your website as an extremely useful tool to help us learn about oscillations and SHM, as well as other physics concepts. your site really is truly wonderful and it is obvious that you have put plenty of time into making it. it has been very helpful in clarifying some places where i was having difficulties. i am so glad my physics teacher gave me your website address and i would like to congratulate you on such a wonderful job. shefali oza (north carolina) |

Subject: Applets Date: Thu, 22 Apr 1999 18:20:15 +0100 From: "Anthony Vinters" < Tony@g0wfg.demon.co.uk> To: < hwang@phy03.phy.ntnu.edu.tw> Dear Fu Kwun Hwang Thank you for the Applets, they are excellent! I have used them for teaching my students about Simple Hamonic Motion and the Principle of Superposition. Have you done one which shows the motions of particles within a Transverse Wave and a Longitudinal wave? It would be interesting to look at the particle motion and compare them within these two wave systems. If it were possible to show the phase relationship between any of the particles even better! Showing that any particles that are 2Pi radians out of phase with each other are 1 wavelength apart is something that students can find difficult to understand without the help of a moving model. Once again thank you for all your work. With best wishes: Mr.A.E.Vinters. Rishworth School |

This is fine, the diagrams look exactly right. I cannot run the applet as my email seemed not to contain any software to animate the diagrams, only the pictures themselves. Can you put this on your site so I can try it out? Perhaps you would consider writing an applet to show a how a Transverse wave is made up of oscillating particles: this would be a most valuable teaching tool.Also a Longitudinal wave to show how the wave particles vibrate in the same plane as the plane of propagation? Both applets would work well alongside your excellent SHM applet. Once again thank you for answering my request, certainly material such as this makes Physics much more enjoyable to teach and learn. With very best wishes, Anthony Vinters. Head of Science Rishworth School. |

I teach Physics to 16-19 year old students and I have already used your SHM Applets in class using a data projector. They are excellent. Is there anyway in which I can download them and run them off our network?

May be you did not notice that there is a button at the end of the first message labeled
"GET APPLET FILE".
Press that button and files related to the applet will send to your email address automatically and you can use it offline.

Hi this is really cool. i like the red yellow and blue vectors. :shock: Is it possible i can get the Java source code for this app? I would like to see if i can do something similar but with different shapes. not just circles, but cams and trilobes and ellipses I be happy to post my changes back to the forum  |

I downloaded the applet for off-line use, but the fonts are unreadible. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Usually the zip file cantains more than one html files.
Index.html is the Chinese version, and other html files are for different language version.
Please check out other html files.

Thanks to all of the people who designed this web site.My term homework was physics simulations and I found everything I wanted in this site.Thanks again.

Dear Fu-Kwun Hwang,
I am sorry for trying to download so many applets in such a short time frame. I am a physics student and quite near finishing a degree to teach high school natural sciences. These applets will be very useful to me in the classroom later in my career. Also, in my Physics for Teachers course we have to teach 50 minute classes every week and a half so it is nice to have these for demo purposes.
Thanks very much for all your hard work, time, and consideration,
Scott Biltoft

Because there are so many users visiting our server everyday. In order to reduce the web traffic load so that everybody can access the resource without too much delay. We ask user to wait at least 3 minutes for the next request. It should be enough for normal use and we believe user should at least read the message or play with the simulation for a while before user request to download it.
Actually, we have found many users request our server to send too many simulations to their email account. The mail quota was reached before we send all the simulations. And the email was bounced back to our server and increased the server load a lot. (Especially for simulations created with EJS -- The file size of EJS libraries are near 2M.)

It is not an image, it is a java simulation. I think it is because your browser did not support java. Please download Java Run time from sun's web site. |

I am a physics teacher in Baltimore, Maryland USA. I have used many of these applets in my classroom with great success. Thank you for this wonderful resource!!

You are welcomed. I am glad to hear that our simulations are helpful. I got my Ph. D. from University of Maryland (College Park) many years ago. So I have been to Baltimore several times.  Please do not hesitate to give me whatever suggestions you might have, to improve our applets and make them better for physics teaching and learning. |

Hello. I just discovered this site and would like to use your Java source code as an example for making my own simulations. I pressed the button asking for the files to sent to me and they were. When I look at the .class files sent to me, they are only interface files, there is no code in them. Is it possible to get the actual code as well?
Thank you,
don

Hi,
I would also like to use your code for circular motion for another java project I am currently working on. Could you please send me the code if you don't mind?
Thank you in advance

I just upload the source code as attachment for the first posted message.
shm.java is the code for the applet, spring.java is the code for drawing the spring.
