About this Simulation

This interactive pendulum toy models the oscillatory motion of a swinging pendulum in real time. Learners can observe and analyze simple harmonic motion, explore how amplitude and initial conditions affect the motion, and visualize relationships between position, velocity, and acceleration using dynamic graphs and animations.

Learning objectives: Understand the characteristics of simple harmonic motion and identify periodic patterns | Analyze energy transfer between potential and kinetic forms during oscillation | Apply real-time observations to verify theoretical predictions of pendulum dynamics
