A basic pendulum is a mass at the end of a string that swings back and forth. It seems simple, and it appears in most introductory physics textbooks. But it's not a trivial problem to solve for the ...

NEWFANE — When New Hampshire artist Don Fitzpatrick was setting up his harmonograph recently at Moore Library a person walked up to him and asked, "Where is the motor?" Fitzpatrick replied, "There is ...

This module expands on the capabilities for teaching using a Pendulum. A pendulum by itself can provide valuable insight into harmonic motion and the relationship between frequency and period. It can ...

A macroscopic quantum pendulum has now been created by confining a polariton condensate in a parabolic optical trap. Spectacular images of multiparticle wavefunctions are obtained by purely optical ...

A ball is suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely. The length of the pendulum is adjustable. For small amplitude, the motion of the pendulum as a function of time is approximately simple ...

The pendulum works with kinetic energy, friction and gravity to create the art." The person was amazed! From now until May 30, the exhibit, "Pendulum Autographs - Drawing with Harmonic Motion" is on ...
