PHYSICAL AND MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS OF PERIOD CALCULATION OF PENDULUMS
Keywords:
Mathematical pendulum, physical pendulum, stem, periodAbstract
This article aims to teach students to extract as much physics as possible from the familiar subject of pendulums before moving on to mathematical calculations. Another point is that the sinusoidal shape between speed and time of harmonic movements is determined not by calculation, but by physical logic. In this article, we have compared the results through physical and mathematical analysis.
