Simple Undamped Pendulum Simulation
Loading the math board and drawing, please wait…
This example demonstrates a simple simulation of an undamped pendulum, showing periodic motion under gravity. Key mathematical concepts include differential equations, trigonometry, and geometric construction. Construction involves GeoGebra commands such as Circle, Segment, and Slider to create the pendulum's graph and animation. Suitable for high school or undergraduate students to understand the connection between physics and mathematics, and to learn geometric construction and dynamic simulation techniques.

AI Drawing Prompt Reference
On a coordinate plane, place a fixed pivot point O. Then define a movable point that will represent the pendulum bob position; draw a circle centered at this movable point with radius 1 to indicate the length constraint. Finally, draw a segment connecting O to the movable point to represent the pendulum string. The construction should highlight the geometric restriction of the bob using the circle radius and the connection from the pivot.
