Jake's Physics Things
I have made some visualizations/interactives/simulations to help explain certain physics concepts.
-
Oscillator Phase
Visualizing simple harmonic motion as a mass lined up with a rotating phase circle. Adjustable phase constant and omega.

Graphing Wave Functions
Using an animated wave, this visual helps understand the process of making graphs for y(x) and y(t) to illustrate what they mean. To create a y(x) graph you "take a snapshot", and to create a y(t) graph you can select a particle to track.
