Harmonic Motion
The harmonic motion investigation is a fun way to learn more about harmonic motions and pendulums. This investigation allows people experiment with variables that affect how fast a pendulum swings. After the accurate variables are identified, the investigation has to create a pendulum which has a specific period. The investigator will have to write a formal business letter to an imaginary clock maker and state his or her recommendations for designing a pendulum which will fulfill the clock maker's needs.
The question asked in this investigation is " what independent variable has the most effect on the period of the pendulum.
Investigators measured the length , mass, and amplitude of a pendulum to determine which of these independent variables had the most effect on the period of the pendulum.
