Website Detail Page

written by Andrew Duffy
This web page is an interactive Java simulation that illustrates the correlation between simple harmonic motion and uniform circular motion.  The page describes the conditions in which this is true, and shows graphically that their motion in the x direction is identical.  This item is part of a collection of similar simulation-based activities.  See Related Materials on this page for a link to the full index of simulations designed by this author to support first semester introductory physics curriculum.
