The process of moving the coordinate system is called translation. The application of translation is examined.

Creating code to produce angular motion and angular velocity during natural simulaitons.nctions

The concept of rotating the object to point in the direction of movement is understood as rotate according to the velocity vector is explained.

An illustration of Cartesian coordinates (the x,y components of a vector) and Polar coordinates (the magnitude and direction of a vector) as related to natural Simulation and angular movement.

A JavaScript coding of forces where every object in a given system attracts every other object in that system (except for itself).

Understanding and coding oscillation amplitude and period in natural simulation.

Writing oscillation code using angular velocity.

Creating a simulation of a bob hanging from a spring in a two-dimensional space that responds to other forces in the environment (wind, gravity, etc.)

Using Newton's Laws of motion to calculate the acceleration of a pendulum as well as to compute and draw its position along the swing and move about the screen in a computationally based graphic system.

Drawing a wave onscreen by using oscillations.

Applying the forces of wind and/or gravity to a particle system so that the system can apply force to all individual particles. In addition, adding a repeller where all the force vectors have a different direction is illustrated.
