Simple Harmonic Motion and Uniform Circular Motion

Simple Harmonic Motion and Uniform Circular Motion

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. This java applet let you view their relation graphically.

Simple, yet informative demo. While similar demos are common, instructors will find this to be a useful tool for demonstrating simple harmonic motion.

Technical Remarks:

Applet worked fine.
