Re: ANN: Harmonic Oscillators

2011-11-09 Thread Roger Guay
As a matter of fact, Jim. I've been working on that exact simulation, but so 
far have not been able to make it work. Perhaps, I could work with you off-line 
to come up with the right equation of motion?

Thanks and cheers,
Roger

Roger,

The simulation makes for a good tutorial.

Here is another that may interest you.

Newton considered, as a thought experiment, a cannon ball fired from the top of 
a VERY high mountain. With ever increasing muzzle velocity he speculated that 
the canon ball would eventually circle the Earth, thus simulating the motion of 
the moon about the Earth.

(See: http://waowen.screaming.net/revision/force&motion/ncanon.htm) 

You might try  1/r, 1/r^2, 1/r^3 gravitational forces to see which produces the 
observed results.

Jim

Amazing demostration!
Many great ideas arise, just from
watching this wonderful stack.

Thanks a lot for sharing.
Keep Up your great work!

You're welcome John and thanks to you and others for your kind words. 

Everything on my download page is also available at RevOnline except Harmonic 
Oscillators.  I prefer to use RevOnline because one does not need to remember 
another URL. But alas, it appears to be broken with not much interest in fixing 
it!!

Cheers,
Roger
