Usage notes:
- This is a beta version of Sim Water Rocket; a few features are not yet implemented. The applet has been tested on IE 5.0 and 6.0 and Mozilla/Netscape 5.0.
- This applet requires Java version 1.1 or later on your computer. A Java Virtual Machine (JVM) ordinarily comes pre-installed with most web browsers. If needed, you can download a Java browser plugin from Sun.
- When you click on the “Results” or “Plot” tabs, the applet must recalculate the rocket trajectory. This could take a few seconds, depending on the speed of your computer. With Mozilla/Netscape, I have not yet figured out a bug where you have to toggle between the “Plot” and “Results” tabs once to get the “Plot” tab to update properly.
- The simulator engine is based on the thrust and flight equations described in this website
