During Foucalt’s life it was already proven that the Earth rotated, thanks to experiments which showed that weights dropped from tall towers fell slightly to one side rather than straight down. This ...

For this project I show how to make make a pendulum wave, an interesting science/physics experiment where a series of pendulums is measured so that each one moves slightly faster than the one before ...

Introduction Did you know that playground swings can provide a good lesson in physics—as well as lots of fun? The back-and-forth motion of a swing is an example of a pendulum. We see pendulums in ...

The year is 1851, and doubts regarding the Earth spinning is also a massive one, as many people argue over this activity of the planet and how it relates to other entities in the galaxy. However, the ...

Govert Schilling says of the way in which a pendulum’s plane of swing appears to rotate with respect to a laboratory on Earth: “This effect was first demonstrated by French physicist Léon ...
