Mass–spring oscillation

Watch a mass oscillate around a spring’s equilibrium position.

Open the simulation

What to notice

A heavier mass oscillates more slowly; a stiffer spring oscillates faster.

Key relation

T = 2π√(m/k)

Try this

Double mass while holding spring stiffness fixed.

What you can change

• Mass: 0.5 to 4 kg
• Spring constant: 5 to 40 N/m
• Amplitude: 0.1 to 0.6 m
