Drag the bob, let go, and watch it settle. It's damped simple harmonic motion — one of the topics students most often lose marks on, because it's easy to understand and surprisingly hard to describe precisely. That gap between "getting it" and "writing it" is most of what tutoring is about — and exactly what the resources below are built to close.
Drag the amber bob, or focus it and use the arrow keys.

What actually decides orbital speed?
Change the planet's mass or how far out the satellite orbits, and watch the speed respond in real time — this is the same v = √(GM/r) relationship exam calculations are built on.
Want a study plan built around these?
I use these same materials with my tutoring students. Get in touch and we can put together a plan that targets exactly where marks are being lost.
