A pendulum consists of only a few components including a length of string or wire, a bob or some type of weight and a fixed point. They can be used to prove that the planet rotates on an axis. The pendulum is a popular device used in watches and clocks.
- A pendulum is traditionally defined as an object that hangs from one fixed point.
- When the object is set into motion, it is free to swing under the forces of gravity and inertia.
- A pendulum can be made from a length of cable or wire with some level of weight attached at one end; the other end is attached to a fixed point.
- The longer the wire used in the creation of a pendulum, the longer it will take for the pendulum to complete one full swing or “period” after it has been set into motion.
- The weight of the bob generally has little effect on the motion of a pendulum.
- The point that a pendulum is fixed to must allow for fluid movement.
- To combat the force of air resistance from stopping a pendulum that has been set into motion, electromagnetic iron collars are used.
- They attract the wire and automatically turn on and off.
