This paper conveys information about a Physicslaboratory experiment for students with some theoretical knowledge about oscillatory motion. Students construct a simple pendulum that behaves as an ideal one, and analyze model assumption incidence on its period. The following aspects are quantitatively analyzed: vanishing friction, small amplitude, not extensible string, point mass of the body, and vanishing mass of the string.
It is concluded that model assumptions are easilyaccomplished in practice, within small experimental errors. Furthermore, this way of carrying out the usual pendulum experiments promotes a better understanding of the scientific modeling process. It allows a deeper comprehension of those physical concepts associated with model assumptions (small amplitude, point mass, etc.), whose physical and epistemological meanings appear clearly related to the model context. Students are introduced to a scientific way of controlling the validity of theoretical development, and they learn to value the power and applicability of scientific modeling.

Title: pendulums: the simple and the physical.
Abstract: This paper aims to show how to guide students with a familiar example to extract as much physics as possible before jumping into mathematical calculation. The period for a physical pendulum made up of a uniform rod is changed by attaching a piece of putty on it. The period for the combined system depends on the location of the putty. Simple reasoning without calculation shows that there are two locations for the putty that do not change the period of the physical pendulum: the axis and the center of percussion. Moreover, without calculation, we reason that there is at least one minimal period when the putty lies somewhere between these two locations.

SIMPLE PENDULUM EXPERIMENTAL REPORT
Aim: To find out the relationship between the Time Period of a simple pendulum and the length of the pendulum. The background knowledge I have about this investigation is: A simple pendulum is an object that has pendulum bob, which is suspended from a string. When suspended the pendulum will oscillate around its equilibrium point due to momentum in balance with the restoring force of gravity. Hypothesis: The length of the string affects the time it takes for the pendulum to oscillate. As the length of the string shortens, the time of the pendulum to oscillate will also decrease and as the length of the string extends, the time of the pendulum to oscillate will also increase.

A simple pendulum is an idealized model, which consists of an idealized pendulum ball and cycloid. Since Galileo discovered the isochronism of pendulum motion, the research on pendulum motion has been continuously deepened. Then ideal pendulum is hard existed in the real world and engineering applications.

The simple pendulum is a classic example of a physical system that exhibits harmonic motion. In this paper, we will derive the equations of motion for a simple pendulum and examine the factors that affect its period. We will also explore the connection between the simple pendulum and more complex oscillatory systems, such as the double pendulum.
The simple model is also an introductory model for analysing simple harmonic motion, the basis of many topics in physics. Another area of research is investigations of approximate periodic solutions to the simple pendulum equation (Big-Alabo, 2020 ;Belendez et al., 2006 ).
A Simple Pendulum is a piece of mass attached to a thread and supported rigidly from one end. Simple pendulum experiment is mainly carried out for calculating the time period of an oscillation, when there is a change in the amplitude. This can also be used for calculating various physical properties of the bob. In this paper we propose an efficient image processing methodology to detect, track ...
