Q: How may we derive an expression for the frequency ( f ) and period ( T ) of a pendulum? How does the motion of a rotating radius ( r ) within a unit circle relate to the centripetal or “ center seeking “ force that maintains a simple-pendulum system? A: We begin byContinue reading “ROTATIONAL MOTION: The Frequency and Period of a Pendulum”

OSCILLATIONS AND WAVES: The Period of a Pendulum
Q: A pendulum has a length of 2.45 m. How many seconds will it take the pendulum to swing through one complete cycle? Does the mass of the pendulum influence the period? Why or why not? A: This question regards the period ( T ) of a pendulum. The period ( T ) is definedContinue reading “OSCILLATIONS AND WAVES: The Period of a Pendulum”
