Step 1: The hand holding the the weight in the pendulum will release the weight and allow it to swing forward to hit the car. This is potential energy by the force of motion of the weight on the pendulum. Potential energy is the energy an object produces due to its position. The pendulum swinging is it being in motion therefore it has kinetic energy. The force shown form this could be Applied Force. Applied force is a force that is applied to an object by a person or another object. Step 2: After

does the length of a paper clip pendulum affect its period of oscillation? BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The simple pendulum: A pendulum is an example of a vibration with a regular‚ consistent motion. A simple pendulum is one which can be considered to be a point mass suspended from a string or rod of negligible mass. It is a resonant system with single resonant frequency. For small amplitues‚ the period of such a pendulum can be approximated by: Where‚ L – length of pendulum‚ T – time period‚ and g – local
