Pendulum
Java Applet showing the displacement, velocity, tangential acceleration, force and energy variations with time of a simple pendulum.
Simple pendulum
A java animation that shows a pendulum moving with plots for kinetic and potential energy. Mass, length, gravity and period can be adjusted
The pendulum lab
Applets showing pendulum motion. Applets suitable for an advanced school student but the maths is higher level.
Physical Pendulum
The derivation of the period of oscillation of a physical pendulum along with interactive calculations to consolidate understanding.
Pendulum
A simple pendulum is one which can be considered to be a point mass suspended from a string or rod of negligible mass.
Ballistic Pendulum
The ballistic pendulum is a classic example of a dissipative collision in which conservation of momentum can be used for analysis, but conservation of energy during the collision cannot be invoked ...
myPhysicsLab
MyPhysicsLab hosts a variety of interactive physics simulations like pendulums, roller coasters, colliding blocks, springs, etc. with graphs, source code, and full explanation of the physics and ...
Strange Attractors
This mathematical essay describes the fractals generated by the nonlinear pendulum and iterated contraction maps. Including information on the butterfly effect.
Spring Pendulum
Java Applet showing the extension, velocity, acceleration, force and energy variations with time of a mass on a spring
The Physics of Everyday Stuff - Swings
Swings and the flying trapeze are examples of one of the classic problems of physics: the pendulum. This page covers this comparison in detail.
