About this Simulation

This simulation models bungee jumping as a system undergoing simple harmonic motion. Learners observe real-time changes in displacement, velocity, and acceleration as the jumper oscillates. Dynamic energy graphs reveal the continuous transformation between kinetic, elastic potential, and gravitational potential energy throughout the motion cycle.

Learning objectives: Understand energy conservation in oscillatory systems | Relate displacement, velocity, and acceleration in SHM | Analyse energy distribution using interactive graphs
