Detail Page

published by Andrew Duffy
This web site contains a wide range of illustrations of basic physics concepts and problems using Java applet (Physlet) illustrations. The collection includes the standard topics covered in a beginning physics course such as: motion and kinematics, forces and energy, wave motion, and thermodynamics. Each applet has a very brief text presentation on the concept or problem being considered.

Please note that this resource requires Java.

First Semester Introductory Physics Simulations:

Contains Boston University Physics Applets: Simple Harmonic Motion Graphs

This is an interactive Java simulation that illustrates simple harmonic motion graphed as a function of position, velocity, and acceleration.

Contains Boston University Physics Applets: Simple Harmonic Motion and Uniform Circular Motion

This is an interactive Java simulation that illustrates the relationship between SHM and uniform circular motion.

Contains Boston University Physics Applets: A Simple Pendulum

This is an animation of a simple pendulum.  As the pendulum swings, bar graphs display changes in potential and kinetic energy.

Contains Boston University Physics Applets: Pendulum at Small and Large Amplitudes

This interactive Java simulation depicts a pendulum undergoing two amplitudes of oscillation:  20 degrees and 135 degrees.  It illustrates the simple harmonic motion produced by small amplitudes, compared with the non-sinusoidal nature of large amplitudes.

Contains Boston University Physics Applets: Dissecting the SHM Equation

This is an animation displaying two spring oscillators.  Users can view graphs of their motion from three views:  different amplitudes, different frequencies, and different phases.
