Most appear to use Shockwave.PLEASE NOTE: There is now a charge for using this material. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=78433 These visualizations are part of the Technology Enabled Active Learning (TEAL) Studio project at MIT. It contains a wide range of visualizations, animations, and simulations of topics in E&M and vector fields, along with notes for an introductory E&M course. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=91345 (From the author) These short 3-D QuickTime movies of electric and magnetic fields in space were created to accompany the textbook Electric & Magnetic Interactions, by Ruth Chabay and Bruce Sherwood (1995, John Wiley & Sons, NY; preliminary second edition, 1999). The movies are designed to assist physics students in visualizing fields. They depict spatial configurations of electric and magnetic fields that are frequently discussed in introductory physics courses. These movies received an Honorable Mention in the Seventh Annual Computers in Physics Educational Software Contest. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=85267 The resource contains many Flash physics animations covering topics such as chaos, mechanics, vectors, waves, relativity; includes a tutorial on using Flash with mathematical equations to create controlled animations. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=89857 Applet allows user to make basic changes in kinematic motin and see the resulting plots for velocity versus time and displacement versus time. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=90250 This java applet illustrates relations between displacement, velocity and acceleration for one dimensional motion, including the inclined plane. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=83817 An evolving and growing collecion of 3-D animations for introductory Electricity and Magnetism http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=294807 The Mechanics Animations are part of a larger collection of Animations for Introductory Physics and Astronomy. The animations are short (5 to 20 second) clips illustrating basic concepts from introductory mechanics. Many of the animations use 3-D graphics to convey geometric ideas.All animations are available for reuse and redistribution under a Creative Commons License. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=74942 Newton's law of motion look the same to all observers in inertial frames of reference. It is equally true that if momentum is conserved in one inertial reference frame, it is conserved in all inertial frames. This java applet apply the above concept to one-dimentional collision problem. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=76466 The following applet demonstrates the relationship between secants and tangents, average rate of change and instantaneous rate of change, and average velocity and instantaneous velocity.
