Physics Java Applets

Java applets are small applications that are downloaded and run automatically on your computer when you click on the link. We have put gathered some applets that help to illustrate various physics concepts. 

Applets are small applications that are transferred automatically from the hosting server computer to your PC when you click on them. Once downloaded, these applets run immediately on your PC. Below are some applets designed to illustrate physics concepts.

Fasttrack Applets

VJC participated in a Fasttrack program initiated by MOE, and produced a number of applets that run using Shockwave software. Click here to use them.

Video applets

These applets were coded by one of our former teachers, Mr Goh Wee Sen. Click here to use them.
