About this Simulation

This interactive simulation models a mass-spring system undergoing simple harmonic motion. Learners can observe how elastic potential energy varies with displacement, visualize oscillation patterns in real time, and adjust system parameters to investigate relationships between spring constant, mass, and energy distribution during oscillation.

Learning objectives: Understand the relationship between displacement and elastic potential energy in oscillating systems | Analyze energy conservation in simple harmonic motion | Apply Hooke's law principles to predict spring-mass system behavior
