Activity 1: Simulation Game. Estimated duration: 10 min

Pendulum Lab - Lab

Play with one or two pendulums and discover which factors affect its period. Control the mass of the pendulum, gravity, and the amplitude of the swing. Measure the period using the stopwatch or period timer and determine the value of g on Planet X. Observe the energy graph, velocity vector, and acceleration vector while the pendulum is in motion. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.
