Mass on a Spring with Position Graph

Instructions: A block sitting on a frictionless table is attached to a spring. Drag the sliders to set the initial position and velocity of the block, and then press start to watch the animation of its motion. On the right you’ll see the plot of the displacement versus time graph, which is a sinusoidal curve. Press reset to stop the animation, and drag the sliders again to choose different initial conditions.
