In this post, we will derive an equation for the velocity of the pendulum bob at the equilibrium position. Calculating the velocity of the pendulum bob at the equilibrium position requires that we arrange our coordinate system so that the height of the bob at the equilibrium position is zero. Then the total mechanical energy […]

Simple Harmonic Motion of a Simple Pendulum
In this post, we will focus on a specific example of Simple Harmonic motion and it is the Simple Harmonic Motion of a Simple Pendulum. A simple pendulum consists of a mass called a bob, which is attached to a fixed string, as shown in Figure 1. When working with a simple pendulum, we assume […]
Transfers between kinetic & potential energy in a simple pendulum
In this post, we will discuss how transfers between kinetic energy and potential energy happen in a simple pendulum. We will also discuss Energy Conservation in a Simple Pendulum. Finally, we will derive the equation for the maximum speed of the pendulum bob. How Transfer between KE and PE happens in a simple pendulum? A […]

Physics Lab: investigation to determine a value for acceleration due to gravity (g) using pendulum motion
This post is on Physics Lab work for performing a first-hand investigation to determine a value of acceleration due to gravity (g) using pendulum motion. This experiment is discussed extensively in order to provide an example of how students should approach experiments and how experimental data should be processed. [Caution: Students are suggested to consult […]
