About this Simulation

This interactive 3D pendulum simulation models the motion of a swinging pendulum in three-dimensional space. Students can adjust parameters such as length, initial angle, and damping to observe how these variables affect oscillatory behavior, period, and energy dissipation in real-time.

Learning objectives: Understand the relationship between pendulum length and period of oscillation | Analyse how initial displacement and gravity influence pendulum dynamics | Visualise energy transformation between potential and kinetic forms during harmonic motion
