About this Simulation

This interactive simulation models a simple pendulum system, allowing learners to manipulate initial conditions and observe real-time motion. Students can adjust amplitude, length, and mass while examining how these variables affect oscillation period, velocity, and energy conservation in pendulum motion.

Learning objectives: Understand the relationship between pendulum length and oscillation period | Visualise how amplitude and gravitational acceleration influence pendulum behaviour | Explore energy transformations between kinetic and potential forms during oscillation
