For this project I show how to make make a pendulum wave, an interesting science/physics experiment where a series of pendulums is measured so that each one moves slightly faster than the one before ...

During Foucalt’s life it was already proven that the Earth rotated, thanks to experiments which showed that weights dropped from tall towers fell slightly to one side rather than straight down. This ...

In 1851, the French physicist Léon Foucault provided an experimental proof of the Earth’s rotation using a pendulum. Although Foucault is best known for this ingenious experiment, he also made several ...

Learning is generally most effective when there is a healthy mix of theory as well as hands on learning through experiments or demonstrations. In most cases because of limited equipment available or ...

SOME four years since, while arranging a Foucault's pendulum for use in the class-room, it occurred to me to endeavour to obtain a permanent record of the experiment, and as the results were very good ...

Experiment with three pendulums that are 1-ft, 2.25-ft, and 9-ft long. Determine how many times the 2.25-ft and 9-ft pendulums swing during the time it takes the 1-ft pendulum to swing 30 times. Find ...
