• Explore how the mass, length, and release angle of a pendulum affects its motion.
• Form graphs about how the motion of a pendulum is affected by changing length and gravitational acceleration.
• Make predictions before exploring the simulator.

App features:
• Dynamic simulator can model the effect of any combination of different variables.
• Watch engaging animations that explain the content.
• Get step-by-step instructions that guide you through various activities.
• Test your knowledge with interactive tasks and quizzes.
