About this Simulation

This interactive simulation models a horizontal spring-mass system undergoing simple harmonic motion. Learners can visualise how displacement varies with time, adjust system parameters using dropdown menus, and observe real-time graphs. The model demonstrates key SHM concepts including amplitude, period, and phase relationships through dynamic visualisation.

Learning objectives: Understand displacement-time relationships in simple harmonic motion | Analyse how mass and spring constant affect oscillation period | Connect physical motion to mathematical representations of periodic phenomena
