the simple pendulum

INVESTIGATION OF THE FACTORS AFFECTING THE TIME PERIOD OF A SIMPLE PENDULUM

I will begin with an explanation of motions and Galileo’s discovery of motion under gravity:

Galileo's insight was that all bodies fall equally fast in a gravitational field. "Falling in space,” means simply following the orbit under gravity. There is no need for this "falling" to be straight down since there is no up, down or any point of reference in space. Gravity can be cancelled in this way by free fall because the effects of a gravitational field are just like those of acceleration. Indeed if you are inside a lift which accelerates upwards, you simple experience an increase in the apparent gravitational field and if downwards then a decrease. If the cable suspending the lift were to break, then the resulting downward acceleration would completely cancel the effect of gravity, and the occupants of the lift would appear to float freely until the lift hits the ground.

Now I shall see how Newton changed our understanding of the Universe by enumerating his Three Laws of Motion:

Newton’s first law of motion; “every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.”


Below is a table of my results, with the mean time taken calculated, as well as the time period.

AIM: To determine the motion and properties of a spring-mass system undergoing simple harmonic motion and to verify the relationship among the variables.

If we substitute g/L, we would find that a = -W x Q
