Here are the measurements I used, starting with the longest pendulum and moving toward the shortest: 230mm, 211mm, 196mm, 183mm, 170mm, 159mm, 149mm, 140mm, 131mm, 124mm, 117mm, 110mm, 105mm, 99mm ...

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 all its technical complexity, the experiment mimics a very simple phenomenon ... nonquantum physics goes, that should be the end of the story. But a quantum pendulum should behave very ...

A macroscopic quantum pendulum has now been created by confining ... the whole system would be an adequate theoretical tool. The experiment opens a way towards engineering polariton condensates ...

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 ...

The question may seem trivial, but Russian Nobel laureate and physicist, Pyotr Kapitza, discovered in 1951 that applying vibrations to a pendulum ... from breaking physics, this experiment ...

[Nicholas Rehm] works during the day at the Applied Physics Laboratory at Johns ... For some more inverted pendulum fun, do check out this simple linear sled. We did cover dRehmFlight a little ...
