Detail Page

written by Andrew Duffy
This web page is an interactive physics animation relating to simple harmonic oscillation.  Two spring oscillators are displayed with a choice of three views: different amplitudes, different frequencies, or different phases.  The user can observe changes in the graphs as a function of each.  Included is an analysis of the SHM general equation based upon the graphs displayed.  This item is part of a collection of similar simulation-based activities for students of introductory physics.
