About this Simulation

This simulator models how potential energy, kinetic energy, and total mechanical energy vary during simple harmonic motion. Learners can observe real-time energy transformations as an oscillating object moves through its cycle, exploring the continuous conversion between energy forms and the conservation of total energy throughout the motion.

Learning objectives: Understand the relationship between displacement and energy distribution in SHM | Visualize energy transformation and conservation during oscillations | Interpret graphs showing energy variations against position
