I really like this applet. Despite a very simple GUI, it manages to show the
relationships between Distance, Velocity, and Acceleration quite well. It seems
to be pretty straightforward, and I haven't had difficulty with any of the
features yet (though I'm not quite clear on what the Filtering option actually
does). I can see direct applications not just in the Pre-Calc classroom, but
also in the early physics classroom as well. Sensors would of course be nice,
but since they're not always available or affordable, this applet is definitely
a workable stand-in.
