Trajectory of a Harmonic Oscillator in Phase Space
Initializing live version

Requires a Wolfram Notebook System
Interact on desktop, mobile and cloud with the free Wolfram Player or other Wolfram Language products.
You can observe how the trajectory of a harmonic oscillator in phase space evolves in time and how it depends on the characteristic values of the oscillator: the amplitude , the frequency
, and the damping constant
. In addition, the energy
as a function of time
is shown.
