Physics Applets

This site contains applets on "visualsing" osciallatory motion, vector fields, electro- and magnetostatics, electrodynamics, and simple examples of quantum mechanical potentials.

I'm sure that this site has been mentioned before in some post or the other, but I thought it would be useful to many if posted here.

Here's another one that seems useful:

Here's another - some of the applets are older, but the sitekeeper is very helpful and active

hey all,

www.Siminsights.com
also has a simple mechanical simulation program called SimNewton that measures simple physics problems like oscillations, vector fields, etc. It seems very useful for high school and undergraduate students. They are offering to try it out for free using your e-mail account. Plus you can create some pretty cool games like the ones in the samples on their website.
