About this Simulation

This interactive simulation models a mass suspended from a vertical spring, demonstrating simple harmonic motion in real-time. Learners can observe how displacement, velocity, and acceleration vary over time, visualize phase relationships through multiple graph views, and adjust initial conditions to explore the dynamics of oscillatory systems.

Learning objectives: Understand the characteristics of simple harmonic motion and the relationship between displacement, velocity, and acceleration | Analyze how energy transforms during oscillation using graphical representations | Investigate how mass and spring properties affect oscillatory behavior
