Oscillations Interactive Learning Lab
Start from zero knowledge. Explore how an object moves repeatedly around a central position. Change the sliders and watch the diagram and numerical results update automatically. Press Animate to see the motion in real time.
An oscillation is a repeated to and fro motion around an equilibrium position. A swing, a vibrating spring and a tuning fork are common examples.
Graphical demonstration
Press Animate to watch the motion. Without animation, the diagram shows the state set by the sliders.
