  2. Pendulum (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendulum_(mechanics)

    The animations below depict the motion of a simple (frictionless) pendulum with increasing amounts of initial displacement of the bob, or equivalently increasing initial velocity. The small graph above each pendulum is the corresponding phase plane diagram; the horizontal axis is displacement and the vertical axis is velocity. With a large ...

  3. Barton's pendulums - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barton's_pendulums

    A schematic diagram of the Barton's pendulums experiment. First demonstrated by Prof Edwin Henry Barton FRS FRSE (1858–1925), Professor of Physics at University College, Nottingham, who had a particular interest in the movement and behavior of spherical bodies, the Barton's pendulums experiment demonstrates the physical phenomenon of resonance and the response of pendulums to vibration at ...

  4. Pendulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendulum

    "Simple gravity pendulum" model assumes no friction or air resistance. A pendulum is a device made of a weight suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely. [1] When a pendulum is displaced sideways from its resting, equilibrium position, it is subject to a restoring force due to gravity that will accelerate it back toward the equilibrium position.

  5. Pendulum wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendulum_wave

    A pendulum wave is an elementary physics demonstration and kinetic art comprising a number of uncoupled simple pendulums with monotonically increasing lengths. As the pendulums oscillate, they appear to produce travelling and standing waves , beating , and random motion.

  6. Spherical pendulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_pendulum

    Spherical pendulum: angles and velocities. In physics, a spherical pendulum is a higher dimensional analogue of the pendulum. It consists of a mass m moving without friction on the surface of a sphere. The only forces acting on the mass are the reaction from the sphere and gravity.

  7. Center of percussion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_of_percussion

    For a free, rigid beam, an impulse is applied at right angle at a point of impact, defined as a distance from the center of mass (CM). The force results in the change in velocity of the CM, i.e. d v c m {\displaystyle dv_{cm}} :

  8. Double pendulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_pendulum

    A double pendulum consists of two pendulums attached end to end.. In physics and mathematics, in the area of dynamical systems, a double pendulum, also known as a chaotic pendulum, is a pendulum with another pendulum attached to its end, forming a simple physical system that exhibits rich dynamic behavior with a strong sensitivity to initial conditions.
