About this Simulation

This simulator models the relationship between velocity and displacement in simple harmonic motion. Students can manipulate parameters, observe real-time phase-space diagrams, and explore how velocity changes as an object oscillates. Interactive controls allow dynamic exploration of elliptical trajectories in v-x phase space and comparisons across different oscillation conditions.

Learning objectives: Understand the phase relationship between velocity and displacement in SHM | Visualize and interpret v-x phase-space diagrams as elliptical trajectories | Connect graphical representations to physical motion of oscillating systems
