Watch on YouTube. This video tutorial lesson provides a wealth of details about the motion of a pendulum. Discussion topics include forces, free-body diagrams, force analysis with components, changes in speed and direction, position-time graphs, velocity-time graphs, changes in kinetic and potential energy, and the period-length relationship.
In this video, we’re going to learn about oscillating pendulums. We’ll see how pendulums can act as simple harmonic oscillators. And we’ll also see what factors do and do not affect a pendulum’s period. To get started, imagine that you are the keeper of a clock tower in a medieval town.
A pendulum behaves as a simple harmonic oscillator. Learn about the period of a pendulum, how it can be adjusted, and how it compares to a mass on a spring. Created by David SantoPietro.
