About this Simulation

This simulation models the interaction between spring mechanics and projectile motion. Students explore how stored elastic energy converts to kinetic energy, affecting launch velocity and trajectory. By adjusting spring properties and mass variables, learners investigate the relationships between force, acceleration, and projectile paths in real time.

Learning objectives: Understand energy conversion from elastic potential to kinetic energy | Analyse how mass and spring constant influence projectile trajectories | Predict and verify motion outcomes using simulation variables and plot data
