Cycloide This application shows a rolling wheel that is rolling without slipping on a horizontal ground. We can study the velocity and/or the acceleration of a point on the periphery, inside or outside the wheel. Click the pushbutton 'Run' to start the simulation. Click the pushbuttontton 'Stop' (or 'Run' again) to stop the simulation. Click the pushbutton 'Bwd' or 'Fwd' to step the simulation 1/100 second backward or forward. Click the pushbotton 'Reset' (the small one) to reset back to time t = 0. Use the checkboxes and/or scrollbars to see different information and/or change different conditions in the simulation. Control objects: Wheel : Show the rolling wheel Formula : Show the formula Point : Show the point P on the wheel Path : Show the path of the point P on the wheel RollS : Show the rolling distance RollC : Show the rolling arc v : Show the velocity vector of the point P vxy : Show the xy-components of the velocity vector a : Show the acceleration vector of the point P axy : Show the xy-components of the acceleration vector Txt : Show text information in the simulation Reset : Reset (large pushbutton) back to initial (default) values Reset : Reset (small pushbutton) back to initial (default) time a0 : Change/Reset the acceleration of the wheel Point Radius : Change/Reset the point radius Wheel Radius : Change/Reset the wheel radius Wheel Roll : Roll the wheel (or use the start button 'Run') Reset : Reset the associated properties of the simulation |
