About this Simulation

This simulation models the behaviour of a block attached to a spring on an inclined plane. Learners can adjust the angle of inclination, spring properties, and initial conditions to observe how the system oscillates. Explore how gravitational force, spring force, and friction interact to produce complex motion patterns and energy exchanges.

Learning objectives: Understand how incline angle affects equilibrium position and oscillation characteristics | Investigate the relationship between spring constant, mass, and period of oscillation | Analyse energy transformations between gravitational potential, elastic potential, and kinetic energy
