⚖️ Pendulum Masses
Mass
Mass
The amount of matter in an object, measured in grams.
🔬 Does pendulum mass affect swing speed? Test to find out!
Period
Period
The time it takes for one complete back-and-forth swing.
🔬 How does mass affect the period? Experiment!
Frequency
Frequency
How many swings happen in a certain amount of time.
🔬 Does mass change how often it swings? Discover it!

🔔 How to Count Swings
Swings: 0
⬅️ LEFT
RIGHT ➡️
1
The pendulum starts on the LEFT side
2
It swings to the RIGHT side
3
Then back to the LEFT = 1 SWING!

✨ One complete back-and-forth = 1 swing
