Simple Harmonic Motion & Pendulum Periods
by Anonymous
A pendulum's period is set by its length and gravity, never by the mass of the bob.

About this app
Simple Harmonic Motion and Pendulum Periods is an interactive physics learning app for exploring how oscillation periods change. Adjust mass and spring stiffness in the spring-pendulum section, compare string length, gravity, and bob mass in the simple-pendulum section, and examine how displacement, phase, and energy share relate during oscillation. Guided missions help learners test relationships such as quadrupling mass or length and observing how the period changes.
Use cases
- High school students studying simple harmonic motion and pendulums
- Teachers demonstrating period relationships in physics lessons
- Learners testing how mass, spring stiffness, length, and gravity affect oscillation
- Science classes exploring kinetic and potential energy during oscillation
Features
- Interactive spring-pendulum controls for mass and spring constant
- Simple-pendulum controls for string length, gravity, and bob mass
- Energy view showing phase and kinetic-versus-potential energy shares
- Guided missions with reset and next controls
- Displays calculated period values and educational feedback
