About this Simulation

This interactive pendulum model lets you explore the principles of simple harmonic motion. Adjust the pendulum's angle and observe how period, amplitude, velocity, and acceleration change in real time. Use linked graphs to visualize relationships between displacement, velocity, and acceleration throughout the oscillation cycle.

Learning objectives: Understand how pendulum motion demonstrates simple harmonic motion principles | Analyse the relationships between displacement, velocity, and acceleration in oscillating systems | Investigate how amplitude and initial conditions affect oscillation period and energy
