We’re used to seeing pendulum waves generated on tiny scaffolds with itty-bitty balls. But as this awesome demonstration points out, the same physics applies even at the largest scales. The key to ...

Because a pendulum's oscillation frequency depends on its length, not its mass, you can use different colored bowling balls for a pretty effect. By Francie Diep Published Sep 8, 2014 7:20 PM EDT Get ...

Sixteen bowling balls strung from a wooden frame swing back and forth in unison, then in an undulating curve, then into seeming chaos before lining up once again. Each bowling ball takes a slightly ...

The bowling ball pendulum is held up to the demonstrator's face and released. Because of conservation of energy, the ball will not swing higher than the height at which it was released (in fact, ...

Some teachers like the textbook, some like the interactive whiteboard and others favour good old chalk and talk. This teacher, however, prefers a different method. To demonstrate the interaction ...

Saint Louis University mathematics professor Dylan Brody Johnson wrote a presentation for a Math and Computer Science Club about 10-12 years ago called "The Physics of Bowling." From that presentation ...
