About this Simulation

This interactive simulator models circular motion and simple harmonic motion, allowing learners to observe how objects move in circular paths and oscillate back and forth. Students can manipulate key variables, visualize position-time and velocity-time graphs, and investigate the relationships between displacement, velocity, and acceleration in oscillatory systems.

Learning objectives: Understand the fundamental principles of circular and harmonic motion | Interpret and predict velocity and acceleration patterns from motion graphs | Analyse the periodic nature of oscillations and connect mathematical models to real-world motion
