Introduction In this lab we had to design a system that would test if changing the mass‚ angle of release and length would have any effect on the period of a pendulum. Hypothesis As the length‚ mass and angle of release change‚ the period (T) will change for each one of these factors.

Pendulum Problems ACTIVITY 1: Copy and paste the example problem and the steps‚ so that the steps are in the correct order into a new Word document and upload it to Moodle. Example Problem 1: A hypnotist swings her watch from 20.0cm chain in front of a subject’s eyes. What is the period of the swing of the watch. Thus‚ we see that the pendulum used by the hypnotist has a period of 0.898s. | Before we can use this formula‚ however‚ we must ensure all our variables are in the correct units.

into their houses and watched often. They are provided with food; officials watch the streets to make sure no one tries to leave; if so‚ they are threatened with death. Officials also have a system of keeping information on everyone in the town. Foucault compares this reaction to leprosy: officials took lepers and moved them to a community and which isolated them. This exile away from the rest of the community ensured that leprosy didn’t spread. The plague and leprosy models both show how people

The Inverted Pendulum is inherently unstable‚ higher order multi-variable and highly coupled system which can be treated as typical non-linear control problem. [1] This is the benchmark for designing‚ testing‚ evaluating and comparing of different classical and contemporary control methods. The control of IP has been a research interest in the field of control engineering because it is the most difficult system being an inherently unstable and highly nonlinear. So this system became a choice of dynamic

Supervisor: Mr. FOUCAULT – International School of Pisa “To what extent does the length of the string affect the period of a simple pendulum?” IBDP PHYSICS Internal Assessment – The Simple Pendulum 9 INTRODUCTION The original aim for this invesigation was to “investigate the simple pendulum”. There are many variables one could look into‚ such as displacement‚ angle‚ damping‚ mass of the bob etc. The most interesting variable‚ however‚ is the length of the swinging pendulum. The relationship
