A physical pendulum undergoes simple harmonic motion when displaced by a small angle. The oscillations are no longer simple harmonic motion when it is released from a large angle. The pendulum's pivot ...

Pendulum simulation and visualization in Python physics. This video demonstrates how to model pendulum motion numerically and visualize the results to better understand oscillations, forces, and ...

A strong permanent magnet acts as a simple pendulum, swinging back and forth while hanging from strings. A copper plate underneath the magnet can be moved up to tune the eddy current damping. Swing ...

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 ...

Introduction Did you know that playground swings can provide a good lesson in physics—as well as lots of fun? The back-and-forth motion of a swing is an example of a pendulum. We see pendulums in ...
