About this Simulation

This interactive energy pendulum model allows learners to observe and analyse the continuous transformation between kinetic and potential energy during simple harmonic motion. By manipulating pendulum parameters and viewing real-time energy graphs, students develop intuitive understanding of energy conservation principles and how work relates to motion.

Learning objectives: Visualise the relationship between kinetic and potential energy in oscillating systems | Understand energy conservation in simple harmonic motion | Explore how amplitude, mass, and displacement affect total mechanical energy
