Physics
Find your rhythm
Explore a simple pendulum using the small-angle approximation. Change its length and gravity to see what controls its rhythm. The amplitude stays small so the model remains accurate.
You will get a feel for
- Discover how string length affects the period.
- Compare the same pendulum under different gravity.
- Understand why mass does not appear in the period formula.
