Java via CheerpJ:
We've partnered with Leaning Technologies to allow our Java sims to run in a browser.
This sim is not compatible with iPads.

Java Version:
Supports offline use and offers improved performance.
Topics
- Rotation
- Motion
- Circular Revolution
Description
Join the ladybug in an exploration of rotational motion. Rotate the merry-go-round to change its angle, or choose a constant angular velocity or angular acceleration. Explore how circular motion relates to the bug's x,y position, velocity, and acceleration using vectors or graphs.
Sample Learning Goals
- Explain some of the variables for rotational motion by describing the motion of a bug on a turning platform
- Describe how the bug's position on the turning platform affects these variables.
