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: ...

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 ...

At the Houston Museum of Natural Science they recently made a disturbing discovery: their Foucault pendulum had stopped ...

The 350-year-old mystery of why pendulum clocks hanging from the same wall synchronize over time may finally be solved, scientists say. In 1665, Dutch physicist Christiaan Huygens, inventor of the ...
