@duprie37 That's what I told my wife when she caught me at in the sack again with our neighbors.
-
@KromBoy85 Right, it would get longer and longer as you moved directly South (assuming you started at the North Pole) and would approach infinity as you get to the Equator.
-
The new clock LOL
-
Nice!
It would be interesting to use a very slow shutter speed to see a nice continuous blur instead of the pendulum jumping about so much.
-
@RoiDeMortetFleur Yes, but anywhere other than the north or south pole will take some algebra to solve. This experiment is used to demonstrate the earth's rotation.
-
Whew, good to know we're still rotating.
-
You should be able to with some calculations.
At the pole, the pendulum is supposed to have a close to 24 hour period, and the period changes depending on the latitude it is situated in.
-
it is not the ball that is moving. everything else is.

looks like a clock , can you tell the time by the swings?

Excellent use of time lapse to show the pendulum in its plane of motion. Great contribution for my classroom. Thanks!

It doesn't stop swinging because there is an electromagnetic device which gives the pendulum its energy to swing, just like in your average quartz clock with decorative pendulum.
