About this Simulation

This interactive pendulum simulator models simple harmonic motion by displaying a swinging pendulum alongside real-time graphs of displacement, velocity, and acceleration. Students can adjust the pendulum's initial conditions and observe how these variables change dynamically, exploring the relationships between motion parameters and oscillation behaviour.

Learning objectives: Understand the characteristics of simple harmonic motion through visual observation | Analyse the relationship between displacement, velocity, and acceleration in oscillatory systems | Interpret and predict pendulum behaviour using graphical representations
