Yes, you can get a value of pi using a pendulum. Well ... Like I always say, it's not the acceleration due to gravity. It is much more appropriate to call it the gravitational field.

Subsequently, this module will allow you to measure parameters, velocity and acceleration, useful in illustrating both of these concepts. The presentation material and the code can be downloaded at ...

Include a graph of total energy as a function of time for all three methods. Is energy conserved? At what starting angle does the pendulum not agree with a simple harmonic motion model?

where you need to measure the angle of the pendulum with respect to the base, and close the loop by calculating the necessary acceleration from the pendulum angle. Typically this is demonstrated ...

The Foucault Pendulum illustrates the rotation of the ... is in circular rotation about the earth's axis. To maintain the acceleration implied by this circular motion requires a force (per unit ...

a demonstration pendulum. Question number one, is there any acceleration? The answer is yes: pendulums accelerate as long as they're swinging down. There is a bottom point -- actually, in physics ...

These graphs also show if the object is moving at a constant speed or accelerating, decelerating, or still. Acceleration is shown by a straight rising line. Deceleration is shown by a straight ...
