Phase Space Diagram (Oscillator)
Explore x-v phase space for SHM, underdamped, overdamped, and forced oscillators. Watch trajectories form ellipses, spirals, or limit cycles in real time.

Simple vs Physical Pendulum Period
Simulate and compare the oscillation period of a point mass on a string (simple pendulum) versus a rigid uniform rod (physical pendulum) to visualize how mass distribution speeds up the rotational cycle.
