Change the pendulum pivot position and repeat the experiment. Show using a stopwatch that when the assumption of small oscillations is violated, the pendulum does not undergo simple harmonic motion.

It seems simple, and it appears in most introductory physics textbooks ... the real solution to the pendulum motion is complicated, it's still a great experiment for lab. It's very easy for ...

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 ...

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 ...
