Learn how to build and test a pendulum and discover how gravity affects its swing. Find out what happens when you change the weight, angle and length of the string.
Mar 28, 2024 · In this experiment, we measured \(g\) by measuring the period of a pendulum of a known length. We measured \(g = 7.65\pm 0.378\text{m/s}^{2}\) . This correspond to a relative difference of \(22\)% with the accepted value ( \(9.8\text{m/s}^{2}\) ), and our result is not consistent with the accepted value.
Play with one or two pendulums and discover how the period of a simple pendulum depends on the length of the string, the mass of the pendulum bob, the strength of gravity, and the amplitude of the swing. Observe the energy in the system in real-time, and vary the amount of friction.
Sep 30, 2023 · Learn about the simple pendulum, a device that swings freely with a periodic motion. Find out how to derive the equation of motion, the time period, and the laws of a simple pendulum.
In this experiment, you will investigate the factors that affect the speed and duration of a pendulum's swing, also called an oscillating motion. You can even use your phone and a sensor app to record your pendulum's movement and determine its period of oscillation.
Feb 20, 2022 · Play with one or two pendulums and discover how the period of a simple pendulum depends on the length of the string, the mass of the pendulum bob, and the amplitude of the swing. It’s easy to measure the period using the photogate timer.
Learn about the simple pendulum, a device that consists of a mass suspended by a string or a rod that swings back and forth under the influence of gravity. Explore the mathematical model, the period, the amplitude, and the energy of a pendulum.
