SHM Reference Circle Simulation

SHM Reference Circle Simulation

This simulation visualizes the reference circle for simple harmonic motions. Select an equation from the options below to see its reference circle representation, initial position, and motion over time.

Current Parameters

Amplitude (A): 2 cm

Angular speed (ω): 3 rad/s

Phase constant (φ): 5π/6 rad

Initial position (t=0): -√3 cm

Current position: 0.00 cm

Equation Information

Standard SHM form: x = A cos(ωt + φ)

Current equation: x = 2 cos(3t + 5π/6)

Reference circle radius = Amplitude (A)

Particle rotates anticlockwise with angular speed ω
