    This article is about pendulums. For the band‚ see Pendulum (band). For other uses‚ see Pendulum (disambiguation). "Simple gravity pendulum" assumes no air resistance and no friction. | An animation of a pendulum showing the velocity and acceleration vectors (v and A). | | A pendulum is a weight suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely.[1] When a pendulum is displaced from its resting equilibrium position‚ it is subject to a restoring force due to gravity that will accelerate it

    Question 1- Panopticism In regards to Panopticism‚ Michel Foucault theorizes‚ “The exile of the leper and the arrest of the plague do not bring with them the same political dream.” I conclude that the term‚ “political dream”‚ is an idea where people use power and knowledge in an attempt to achieve a perfectly governed society. Gradually‚ social reforms transformed how the political dream was viewed. Over the past few hundred years‚ techniques for social reform have improved‚ leading up to where

    One Title: Determination of the acceleration due to gravity with a simple pendulum Introduction and Theory: A simple pendulum performs simple harmonic motion‚ i.e. its periodic motion is defined by an acceleration that is proportional to its displacement and directed towards the centre of motion. It can be shown that the period T of the swinging pendulum is proportional to the square root of the length l of the pendulum: T2= (4π2l)/g with T the period in seconds‚ l the length in meters

    The pendulum shows elastic collision and conserved momentum. In this set up‚ no momentum is actually lost. Ball 0 just transfers its momentum to stationary ball 1 which it collides with(head-on collision) so ball 0 is put to stop then ball 1 collides with ball 2 causing ball 1 to stop and transfer its momentum to ball 2 and so on until the momentum gets transferred to ball 4 then ball 3 collides with ball 2 and the cycle continues.

    MICHEL FOUCAULT Foucault’s major work analyses the emergence of modern institutions (asylums‚ hospitals‚ prisons) and the forms of governance associated with them. However‚ instead of stories of continuity‚ he focuses on discontinuities – for instance‚ the move from violent torture and execution to imprisonment as a form of punishment. According to Foucault this is not a question of new discovered humanity since power is still present in changing forms. Humanism does not remove power but reinscribes

    The Ballistic Pendulum | Determining the initial speed of a projectile | | | | | THE BALLISTIC PENDULUM ABSTRACT The experiment was carried out to determine the initial speed of a projectile: i) by means of a ballistic pendulum. ii) by measurements of the range and vertical distance of fall during its flight. The initial speed for the ballistic pendulum was found to be 5.0551±0.0008m/s and the initial speed for the pendulum was found to be 4.72±0.02 m/s. INTRODUCTION:

    Simple Pendulum Experiment In this experiment you will make a simple pendulum consisting of a plumb bob and a piece of string anchored at two points. By attaching the string to two points the normal precession that would occur will be eliminated.

    The Powers of Panopticism Michel Foucault seeks throughout his work‚ Panopticism‚ to analyze how contemporary society is differently structured from the society that preceded us. He displays‚ through Jeremy Bentham’s architectural realization of the Panopticon‚ a prison for society and those who inhabit it. Also‚ there is the matter of constant surveillance‚ discipline and power in society. The Panopticon is not only a building where people are being governed‚ but also a laboratory-- “The Panopticon
