Kinematics of a Translating

Kinematics of a Translating and Rotating Wheel Model is a handy, small, Java based application specially designed to display the model of wheel rolling on a floor.

By controlling three variables, the kinematics of the wheel can be changed to represent sliding, rolling with sliding, rolling without slipping, rolling with slipping, and spinning. The translational velocity of the wheel, the rotational velocity of the wheel, and the radius of the wheel can be changed via Sliders.
