About this Simulation

This energy pendulum model allows learners to observe and analyse the continuous exchange between kinetic and potential energy as a pendulum swings. Through real-time visualisation, students can explore how mechanical energy is conserved, examine velocity and acceleration patterns, and understand the principles of simple harmonic motion and work done by forces.

Learning objectives: Understand energy transformation between kinetic and potential forms in oscillating systems | Analyse the relationship between displacement, velocity, and acceleration in simple harmonic motion | Apply energy conservation principles to predict pendulum behaviour
