About This Simulator
This interactive pendulum simulator models the motion of a simple pendulum using real physics equations. Adjust the pendulum length, gravity strength, and damping factor to see how they affect the swing. Click and drag the bob to set a starting angle, then release to watch it swing. The simulation uses the small-angle approximation for smooth, accurate motion.
How It Works
- 1 Click and drag the pendulum bob to pull it to a starting angle
- 2 Release to let it swing freely
- 3 Adjust the Length slider to change the pendulum arm length
- 4 Adjust Gravity to simulate different planets (Moon, Earth, Jupiter)
- 5 Increase Damping to add air resistance and watch it slow down
- 6 Click Reset to return to the default state
