About this Simulation

This interactive simulation models a spring-mass system undergoing simple harmonic motion. Learners can adjust spring properties, mass, and initial conditions to observe how oscillations change in real time. Dynamic graphs display displacement, velocity, and acceleration patterns, revealing the mathematical relationships underlying periodic motion.

Learning objectives: Understand the relationship between restoring force and displacement in harmonic systems | Observe how mass and spring constant affect oscillation frequency and amplitude | Analyse the energy transformations between kinetic and potential forms during oscillatory motion
