This is a requested post. Clearly, I do requests. The idea here is that I am going to give all the details needed to determine the equation of motion (and then model it) for a basic pendulum. Warning: ...

I am going to make a prediction. As people start to get bored with their fidget spinners, they are going to start playing with these double pendulum fidget spinners. The normal spinner has a bearing ...

Discover the fascinating world of physics and engineering with our step-by-step guide on "How to Make a Pendulum Machine." ...

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 ...

For the first time, researchers have measured the lifetime of an excited state in the nucleus of an unstable element. This is a major step toward a nuclear clock that could keep even better time than ...

The first Foucault’s pendulum I ever saw was at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, the city where I was born. The pendulum hung in a stairwell. Its wire was attached to the ceiling four stories ...

The aim of this paper is to give a self-reflective account of the building of Galileo's pendulum in order to discover what were the practical contingencies of building and using the pendulum for ...
