Pendulum and SHM Simulator
Release a pendulum or a mass on a spring and watch its displacement, velocity and acceleration trace out live, with the energy moving between kinetic and potential. Add damping, and see how far a large swing strays from the small-angle period.
What you can do
- A pendulum or a mass on a spring
- Live displacement, velocity and acceleration graphs
- Energy bars, including what damping has taken
- The measured period against the small-angle formula
- Drag the bob or the mass to set the release point
