Play with the code as much as you like. Please observe the motion change of the turtle as you change the spring constant and mass of the turtle.

Questions

Please answer the questions below.

For the following questions, you can look into the NetLogo code tab under the simulation. What does the “SETUP” button initiate?

What does the “GO” button initiate?

Identify which part of the code represents the spring force and paste it below. 

Why is the force of gravity, mg, not in play here?
