About this Simulation

This pendulum simulation allows learners to observe and analyze the motion of a swinging pendulum in real time. Students can adjust parameters affecting pendulum behavior, visualize forces and energy changes, and discover the principles governing oscillatory motion and periodicity in dynamic systems.

Learning objectives: Understand how pendulum period relates to length and gravitational acceleration | Explore the energy transformations between potential and kinetic energy during oscillation | Investigate how amplitude and mass affect pendulum motion patterns
