Bowling Ball for Simple Harmonic Motion

Concept Overview

1. Visual example of Simple Harmonic Motion
2. Provide an opportunity to do some calculations with regard to pendulums

Lecturer Procedure for Demonstrations

Steps to Follow

1. Pull pendulum to a sufficiently small amplitude.
2. Release pendulum.

Expected Result

Bowling ball will swing with a period long enough to give you time to point out the phase relations between displacement and velocity.
