Oscillation and spring simulations
Oscillations repeat around an equilibrium position. Change one parameter, measure a full set of cycles, and compare period and amplitude without assuming the model is exact for every condition.
Open the interactive physics simulatorConcepts to investigate
- Period and frequency
- Amplitude
- Equilibrium
- Restoring force
How to use the simulator
- Choose a prepared experiment or create a scene with approved objects.
- Predict what will happen before changing a single variable.
- Run, pause, reset, inspect, and graph supported measurements.
- Compare the result with the model limitations and an independent calculation or practical measurement.
