Explore the concept of phase space plots for simple harmonic oscillators in this 18-minute video tutorial. Learn how to sketch the curve for a mass-spring system oscillating in one dimension, given specific parameters such as mass, spring constant, initial position, and velocity. Gain insights into the behavior of a 0.1 kg mass connected to a spring with a 4 N/m constant, starting at x = -0.2 m with a velocity of 1 m/s. Access the provided code to visualize the oscillation and deepen your understanding of simple harmonic motion. For further exploration, a link to a video discussing three solutions for the simple harmonic oscillator is also included.
