Pendulum Oscillation/Displacement

Dear Physics students,

This was the video applet that I wanted to show you on the distance measured as the pendulum is released. Take a look when you are free, especially if you want to do well! Study it and ask me questions in the next lesson.


Pendulum displacement


Btw, if you have questions or videos on nano technology, feel free to share and post them here.


Cheers, :)

-Unit 10: Waves (calculate frequency, period, wavelength from graph, find amplitude, wavespeed) definition of longitudinal and transverse waves

Unit 11: Light (all reflection questions.)
All refractive index calculations

-Unit 12: Sound (echo calculations), louder , higher pitch sound wave pattern

-Unit 13: Static electricity

-Unit 15,16 circuit calculations for series and combo circuits.
