Conservation of Mechanical Energy
Energy and Simple Harmonic Motion
Visit the Physics Classroom and read about the physics of a pendeulum. Pay attention to the pendulum and the energy versus position graph. Observing the motion of the pendulum and the graph, draw several conclusions.
Discuss your conclusions with your classmates on the discussion board. You may post a new topic or comment on your classmate’s posts. You must contribute in either way to at least three threads. Return to the discussion board several times over the next few days to read your classmates’ posts. Reply to at least three of them, being sure to offer new insights, ask questions, and encourage further conversation.
