Simple Harmonic Motion
DESCRIPTION
Explore mass-spring oscillations and energy transformations. Adjust mass, spring constant, and damping to observe how frequency, amplitude, and energy interchange between kinetic and potential forms.

RELATED VISUALIZATIONS
Projectile Motion
Visualize 2D projectile trajectories with adjustable launch angle, initial velocity, and gravitational acceleration. Observe how each parameter affects range, maximum height, and time of flight in real time.
Circular Motion & Centripetal Force
Visualize uniform circular motion with adjustable radius and speed. See how centripetal acceleration and net force always point toward the center, and explore the role of tension, gravity, and normal force.
Torque & Rotational Equilibrium
Interactively balance forces on a rigid lever by placing masses at different distances from the pivot. Observe torque magnitudes and directions, and understand the condition for rotational equilibrium.
Buoyancy & Archimedes Principle
Drop objects of different densities into fluid of adjustable density. Observe buoyant force, weight, and net force to predict whether objects sink, float, or remain neutrally buoyant — all in 3D.
