About

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

Introduction

forced Simple Harmonic Motion is setup as a horizontal spring mass system where the oscillatory motion is under

1 a retarding force proportional to the amount of displacement from an equilibrium position.

2 an external periodic force

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.
