This simulation displays the motion of a spring in simple harmonic motion. The user can adjust the settings in the problem including mass, spring stiffness, and damping. Graphs can be plotted relating any two of these quantities: position, velocity, acceleration, energy (potential, kinetic, and total), and the work done by damping. Bar graphs showing the energy are displayed in a separate area. The web page also gives and outline of the physics, the mathematical models used, and the numerical methods for the simulation.
This is one of a group of simulations of classical systems. Please note that this resource requires Java.
This resource is part of a Physics Front Topical Unit.
Topic: Periodic and Simple Harmonic Motion
Unit Title: Conservation of Energy and Forces on a Spring This item combines a simulation of a simple linear oscillator with detailed content support explaining the physics. Both numerical and analytical solutions are given, as well as puzzles for student interaction. Link to Unit:
