About

An open source physics at Singapore simulation based on codes written by Francisco Esquembre and Loo Kang WEE.

Introduction

Simple Harmonic Motion is setup as a horizontal spring mass system where the oscillatory motion is under a retarding force proportional to the amount of displacement from an equilibrium position. Where damping is present, the graphs of displacement versus time as can be explored via this app

Only x vs t is available to keep the apps simple.

please download the other apps for x vs t etc.

Interesting Fact

This app is produce real numbers to coincident with the real world data. There is a mathematical modelling pedagogy built into the simulation for students to make effort to represent the physics similar to Tracker's particle modeling. Currently, only the no damping and light damping are modeled mathematical.
