Investigating Pendulums: Calculating the Effect of Mass, Length, and Angular Displacement on Period
Rating
0.0 stars

This physics lab activity is an introduction to Simple Harmonic Motion, utilizing the variables of mass, length, and angular displacement to determine their effect on period. Acceleration of gravity is calculated and the results of manual data collection and Vernier LabPro data collection are compared.
