Simple Harmonic Motion

SHM
This is one of the best available. Click on "bar chart" and then on "graph" and it gives you an introduction to the sin wave.
Watch out - you're limited to 5 minutes!
5 Star
 
Applet showing Displacement, Velocity and Acceleration vectors for object undergoing SHM
4 Star
 
Nice applet for demonstrating that acceleration is a maximum when velocity is a minimum.
4 Star
 
Very useful introduction to SHM, although many of the concepts are above leaving cert level
4 Star
 
Similar to above
4 Star
 
 
Hooke's Law Experiment
Excellent simulation of the experiment. Hang different weights and measure the extension.
5 Star
 
 
Pendulum
Change Length, Mass or g, and press go. Or use it as practice for the Leaving Cert Experiment
