Simple Pendulum - Simple Harmonic Motion Derivation using Calculus
Calculus is used to derive the simple harmonic motion equations for a simple pendulum. Equations derived are position, velocity, and acceleration as a function of time, angular frequency, and period. This is an AP Physics C: Mechanics...

Conservation of Energy: Free Fall, Springs, and Pendulums
The energy of a closed system is always conserved. This is an important law of physics! But energy does change forms. What are all the forms and how do they interchange? You gotta watch this clip to find out, buddy!

Centre of Mass
Explain how to find the center of mass of an object. A video uses suspension and plumb lines to find the point of intersection that is the center of mass. It also relates this concept to simple pendulums, covering the time period and...

Pendulums
Pendulums are simple, yet engaging demonstrations of harmonic motion. Dr. Carlson uses a very large example of a pendulum: a bowling ball on a string hanging from the ceiling! Learn from Dr. Carlson how you can teach about the strength...

Pendulum Catch - Sick Science! #013
What a fun demonstration! Show the video, or better yet, have your physics learners construct this hex nut pendulum and test it themselves. Then have them discuss in groups why the single hex nut wraps around the finger. See if they can...

Simple Harmonic Motion
This short video covers simple harmonic motion, focusing on pendulums. It is the fifth in a series of six videos that make for a nice Physics review.
