About this Simulation

This simulation models bungee jumping as a system undergoing simple harmonic motion (SHM) with damping effects. Learners can adjust amplitude, period, damping factors, and viewing angles to observe how oscillations change over time and visualise the relationship between motion variables and system parameters.

Learning objectives: Understand how damping affects amplitude and energy in oscillatory systems | Relate period and frequency to properties of harmonic motion | Analyse motion graphs and predict system behaviour under different conditions
