Kinematics: Motion in One Dimension Kinematics: Motion in Two Dimensions Static Equilibrium Dynamics of a Single Particle Systems of Two or More Bodies Work and Work-Energy Theorem Conservative Forces and Potential Energy Conservation of Energy Power Systems of Particles, Linear Momentum Uniform Circular Motion Angular Momentum and Its Conservation Torque and Rotational Statics Rotational Kinematics and Dynamics Oscillations and Gravitation Newton's Law of Gravity and Orbits Demonstration This demonstration includes a picture, description, suggestion of use, equipment needed, and the approximate setup time.   Pendula with Different Masses Lab Experiments Each lab is given with objectives, materials, background theory, analysis, and questions.   The Simple Pendulum and the Determination of the Acceleration of Gravity   The Simple Pendulum 2 Lecture Notes and Tutorials Notes from PhysicsLAB by Catherine H. Colwell These notes contain detailed explanations of background material, annotated diagrams and illustrations, and solved examples.   Simple Pendulums   Energy Conservation in Simple Pendulums Oscillations These notes from Frank Wolfs at the University of Rochester contain calculus-level, detailed explanations of background material, annotated diagrams and illustrations, and solved examples.   Oscillations Simulations Pendulum Motion This simulation from the Physics Simulation Library includes an audio introduction and general directions. These simulations are very well designed, and each experiment gives the opportunity to change the parameters, collect data, and interpret various graphs.   Pendulum Motion See also...
