About this Simulation

This simulation models the oscillatory motion of a bungee jumper as a system undergoing simple harmonic motion. Students can visualise how displacement, velocity, and acceleration vary with time and position, and explore the relationship between velocity and vertical position through dynamic v vs y graphing in real time.

Learning objectives: Understand the principles of simple harmonic motion in real-world contexts | Analyse velocity-displacement relationships and phase space diagrams | Investigate how amplitude, period, and energy change throughout oscillatory motion
