A macroscopic quantum pendulum has now been created by confining a polariton condensate in a parabolic optical trap. Spectacular images of multiparticle wavefunctions are obtained by purely optical ...

A physical pendulum undergoes simple harmonic motion when displaced by a small angle. The oscillations are no longer simple harmonic motion when it is released from a large angle. The pendulum's pivot ...

The first Foucault’s pendulum I ever saw was at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, the city where I was born. The pendulum hung in a stairwell. Its wire was attached to the ceiling four stories ...

Learn how to calculate the speed of a mass in a circular pendulum with this clear physics tutorial! Step-by-step explanations make it easy to understand circular motion, energy, and angular velocity. ...
