WhenILearnToFly Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 I'm doing my IA on how changes in mass alter the rate at which a pendulum decelerates because of inertia and i have my data and stuff i just realized that i don't know this topic too well and its too late to change. also i'm not sure what exactly this should look like format wise. please help.

kw0573 Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 The theory is that for small angles such that x is close to sin x (within 10 degrees or so) the period of motion is independent of mass and amplitude. http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/pend.html Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
