EJS Digital Library for Physics 200

Week 2: Time Dependence

The second week's objective be to continue our study of the EJS modeling environment by building simple time dependent models.  Readings and in-class examples will cover the following:

 

Homework (Due Monday Jan 26)

Use EJS to plot the time development of a damped mass on a spring.  Look up the analytic solution in your introductory physics or intermediate mechanics textbook.  Decide what variables are important and build a user interface that allows users to adjust these variables.  Describe the physics of the model in your documentation including screen shots of output graphs.
