This module expands on the capabilities for teaching using a Pendulum. A pendulum by itself can provide valuable insight into harmonic motion and the relationship between frequency and period. It can ...

Learn how to calculate the speed of a mass in a circular pendulum with this clear physics tutorial! Step-by-step explanations make it easy to understand circular motion, energy, and angular velocity.

The Buffalo Museum of Science's impressive 75-foot Foucault pendulum is no longer out of commission, thanks to the efforts of a professor and undergraduate student in UB's Department of Physics. The ...

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 ...

A macroscopic quantum pendulum has now been created by confining a polariton condensate in a parabolic optical trap. Spectacular images of multiparticle wavefunctions are obtained by purely optical ...
