About this Simulation

This interactive simulation models a bungee jumper undergoing simple harmonic motion after jumping from a height. Learners observe real-time motion visualization alongside dynamic acceleration vs. displacement graphs, exploring how restoring forces govern oscillatory behavior. Adjust spring stiffness, mass, and initial conditions to investigate energy transfer and periodic motion patterns.

Learning objectives: Understand the relationship between displacement and acceleration in SHM | Analyze how system parameters affect oscillation amplitude and period | Connect graphical representations to physical motion in real-world contexts
