This is a requested post. Clearly, I do requests. The idea here is that I am going to give all the details needed to determine the equation of motion (and then model it) for a basic pendulum. Warning: ...

For this project I show how to make make a pendulum wave, an interesting science/physics experiment where a series of pendulums is measured so that each one moves slightly faster than the one before ...

You've probably seen the famous pendulum demonstration—the one where the physics professor puts a bowling ball on a rope, holds it by her head, and lets it go, knowing it won't have enough energy to ...

When oscillating, the pendulum slowly shifts between torsional and vertical modes of oscillation. When stretched down, the spring applies a torque to the mass to help it unstretch. When compressed up, ...

A pendulum is released and the height of the swing is recorded. A rod is then placed in the way of the pendulum and the process is repeated. The height of the swing with the rod is the same as without ...
