Simple Harmonic Motion (1 of 16): Period of a Pendulum

 A wooden meter stick is suspended from one end with a frictionless peg. If the meter stick is given a small bump and allowed to oscillate as a pendulum, what is the period of motion? 

 A 20 kg child is on a swing that has chains <math display=“inline”><mrow><mn>2</mn><mo>.</mo><mrow><mn>4</mn><mo rspace="thickmathspace">&#x2062;</mo><mi mathvariant="normal" class="MathML-Unit">m</mi></mrow></mrow></math> long. At what frequency should the child’s father deliver his pushes to ensure the highest swing possible?

When is a Pendulum in Simple Harmonic Motion?(SHM)

<p>A simple pendulum is 0.30m long. At t=0, it is released from rest, starting at an angle of 13°. What will be the angular position (in degrees) of the pendulum at t=0.35s?</p>

simple harmonic motion - the pendulum

 A 20 kg child is on a swing that has chains <math display=“inline”><mrow><mn>2</mn><mo>.</mo><mrow><mn>4</mn><mo rspace="thickmathspace">&#x2062;</mo><mi mathvariant="normal" class="MathML-Unit">m</mi></mrow></mrow></math> long. Being interested in physics, the child’s father gives a push and then watches to see what happens. He notices that the amplitude of the child’s oscillation decreases by half in 20 s. What is the value of the time constant?
