Motion
Motion in one dimension, equations of motion under constant acceleration
Model of a Carousel (Centripetal Force)
Java Applet simulating the motion of an object rotating on a carousel - demonstrating the Physics of circular motion, and Newton's Laws of Motion.
Simple Harmonic Motion and Uniform Circular Motion
An oscillating mass on a spring is shown with matching circular motion to one side of it. The relationship is clearly visible. I have tried many times to set this up in the lab - this is a really ...
Brownian Motion Java Applet
A simple computer program for simulating Brownian motion of up to 4 gas particles at different speeds. A good site for school students to simulate Brownian motion.
Circular Motion
For circular motion at a constant speed v, the centripetal acceleration of the motion can be derived.
Longitudual and Transverse Wave Motion
Animations which demonstrate both types of wave and illustrate the difference between the motion of the wave and the motion of the particles in the medium through which the wave is travelling.
Simple Harmonic Motion
Simple harmonic motion is typified by the motion of a mass on a spring when it is subject to the linear elastic restoring force given by Hooke's Law.
Johannes Kepler: The Laws of Planetary Motion
This site covers Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion including his theories on Elliptical Orbits and all three laws of planetary motion.
Simple Harmonic Motion and Uniform Circular Motion
An animation to illustrate the relationship between simple harmonic motion and uniform circular motion
Newtons third law of motion
A simple explanation of Newton's third law of motion, with plenty of examples and a test to check your understanding at the end.
