Simple Harmonic Motion
Requires a Wolfram Notebook System
Interact on desktop, mobile and cloud with the free Wolfram Player or other Wolfram Language products.
It helps to understand how to get the differential equation for simple harmonic motion by linking the vertical position of the moving object to a point A on a circle of radius 
. Computing the second-order derivative of 
in the equation 
gives the equation of motion 
.
