About this Simulation

This interactive simulation models a spring-mass system undergoing simple harmonic motion. Learners can adjust parameters like spring constant and mass, observe displacement and velocity in real-time, and explore how these variables affect oscillation frequency and amplitude. The visual representation helps students connect abstract equations to physical behavior.

Learning objectives: Understand the relationship between restoring force and displacement in SHM | Investigate how mass and spring properties influence oscillation period and frequency | Analyze energy transformations between kinetic and potential forms during oscillation
