About this Simulation

This interactive simulation models the motion of a 1 kg mass attached to a spring (k=16 N/m) in simple harmonic motion. Learners can explore the relationship between velocity and displacement by observing real-time graphs and adjusting parameters to see how the system responds dynamically.

Learning objectives: Understand the relationship between velocity and position in simple harmonic motion | Visualise energy transfer between kinetic and potential energy during oscillation | Analyse how spring constant and mass affect oscillatory behaviour
