MODELLING THE OSCILLATORY MOTION WITH GEOGEBRA SOFTWARE

This paper presents the use of GeoGebra software in learning oscillatory motion. We created interactive models for the undamped oscillatory motion, composition of parallel oscillations, damped oscillatory motion subjected to resistive and constant friction force. Each model is briefly discussed theoretically and followed by explanations about the employed GeoGebra applets. The parameters of the simulations can be adjusted by means of visual controls, allowing users to have a broad degree of interaction with the application.
