Pendulum
This simple pendulum provides you with an ideal introduction to harmonic motion, sound, and waves. The concepts of cycle, period, frequency, and amplitude are intuitively demonstrated while advanced concepts such as extrapolation, rate of change, and functions can also be explored. Your students have control over all of the variables including the length of the string, weight of the swinging bob, and amplitude. The Timer II and Photogates will provide your class with precise measurements for analytical success during their experimentation with the Pendulum. The Pendulum has a 7” hardwood face with an angle scale for easy determination of amplitude (angle) and a hardwood swinging bob with adjustable metal weights.
- Clear, simple design for easy set up and use
- Durable construction for reliable performance
- Simple control of all variables
- Superb analytical capabilities using the Timer II and Photogates
