Because a pendulum's oscillation frequency depends on its length, not its mass, you can use different colored bowling balls for a pretty effect. By Francie Diep Published Sep 8, 2014 7:20 PM EDT Get ...

The bowling ball pendulum is held up to the demonstrator's face and released. Because of conservation of energy, the ball will not swing higher than the height at which it was released (in fact, ...

We’re used to seeing pendulum waves generated on tiny scaffolds with itty-bitty balls. But as this awesome demonstration points out, the same physics applies even at the largest scales. The key to ...

Keeping the cable taught, pull the pendulum (bowling ball) to one side until it touches your nose. Be sure to stand straight and still. Release the pendulum, taking care not to move your face. Remain ...

Some teachers like the textbook, some like the interactive whiteboard and others favour good old chalk and talk. This teacher, however, prefers a different method. To demonstrate the interaction ...

You've probably seen the famous pendulum demonstration—the one where the physics professor puts a bowling ball on a rope, holds it by her head, and lets it go, knowing it won't have enough energy to ...
