This simulation models bungee jumping as simple harmonic motion, allowing learners to observe two jumpers with different initial conditions. By adjusting phase difference, amplitude, and elastic properties, students visualize how oscillations evolve over time and compare displacement, velocity, and acceleration across both scenarios simultaneously.
Learning objectives: Understand the relationship between phase difference and periodic motion | Analyse displacement, velocity, and acceleration in SHM using real-time data | Investigate how initial conditions affect oscillatory behaviour in coupled systems
