About this Simulation

This interactive simulation models the behaviour of a mass attached to a spring undergoing simple harmonic motion. Learners can manipulate variables such as mass, spring properties, and initial conditions to observe how amplitude, frequency, and period change. Real-time visualization displays the oscillating motion alongside corresponding graphs and measurements.

Learning objectives: Understand the relationship between mass, spring constant, and oscillation frequency | Explore how amplitude and initial conditions affect periodic motion | Analyze and predict the period and frequency of mass-spring systems
