About this Simulation

This spring-mass resonance simulation lets students explore how oscillating systems respond to driving forces at different frequencies. Observe real-time graphs of displacement, velocity, and energy as the system approaches resonance conditions. Adjust parameters like spring constant, mass, and driving frequency to investigate amplitude peaks and phase relationships.

Learning objectives: Understand the relationship between driving frequency and system response amplitude | Identify resonance conditions and predict maximum oscillation behavior | Analyse energy transfer and phase lag in forced harmonic oscillators
