Description
Hooke's law tells you how far a spring stretches, but how it actually bounces with different weights and stiffness is hard to imagine. Masses & Springs hands you two springs and a pile of weights, and hang one on and it starts oscillating, so period and equilibrium can be measured right there.
Change gravity, add damping, or work out an unknown mass from the motion, with elastic and kinetic energy drawn as charts.
Hang any weight: Drag masses onto the springs and they stretch and bounce immediately.
Adjustable parameters: Spring constant, damping and gravity all have sliders.
Built-in measuring: A ruler, a timer and energy charts help you read results.
