  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. 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. 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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_of_percussion

    Effects of a blow on a hanging beam. CP is the Center of Percussion, and CM is the Center of Mass of the beam. Imagine a rigid beam suspended from a wire by a fixture that can slide freely along the wire at point P, as shown in the Figure.

  7. 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. [1]

  8. Elastic pendulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_pendulum

    In physics and mathematics, in the area of dynamical systems, an elastic pendulum [1] [2] (also called spring pendulum [3] [4] or swinging spring) is a physical system where a piece of mass is connected to a spring so that the resulting motion contains elements of both a simple pendulum and a one-dimensional spring-mass system. [2]

  9. 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 ...
