This is a requested post. Clearly, I do requests. The idea here is that I am going to give all the details needed to determine the equation of motion (and then model it) for a basic pendulum. Warning: ...

Clay pendulum balls collision explained in physics
In this video, we break down the physics behind clay pendulum balls and their collisions. Learn about momentum, energy transfer, and how these simple systems can explain key concepts in ...
A basic pendulum is a mass at the end of a string that swings back and forth. It seems simple, and it appears in most introductory physics textbooks. But it's not a trivial problem to solve for the ...
At the Houston Museum of Natural Science they recently made a disturbing discovery: their Foucault pendulum had stopped ...

For the first time, researchers have measured the lifetime of an excited state in the nucleus of an unstable element. This is a major step toward a nuclear clock that could keep even better time than ...
The first Foucault’s pendulum I ever saw was at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, the city where I was born. The pendulum hung in a stairwell. Its wire was attached to the ceiling four stories ...
