G1-58: LOADED PENDULUM

Category: G1 Simple Harmonic Motion

Purpose: Analog to the longitudinal motion of a particle in a particle accelerator driven by a sinusoidal accelerating potential.

G1-16: PENDULUM WITH LARGE OSCILLATION

Category: G1 Simple Harmonic Motion

Purpose: Show the difference between pendula with small amplitude and large amplitude of oscillation, and to show rotational motion where the kinetic energy at the top is much less than the change of potential energy from the top to the bottom of the oscillation.
