Objective: I can analyze the behavior of a pendulum using
my understanding of motion, algebra and the conservation
of energy by the end of the unit.
Tasks-
! {Let's Review}:The Peiiou of a penuulum
! {uet Youi Ninu on Physics}:Penuulum
Lab & Wiite 0p(Paitneis)
! {Expiess Youiself}
{Lets Review} The Period of a Pendulum
! The formula to calculate the Length associated with a
pendulum is :
