consistent use of detailed description‚ and he uses this tendency to great effect in his short story "The Pit and the Pendulum." The aim of the story is very simply to create a dark atmosphere of foreboding and anticipatory horror‚ and Poe achieves this by minutely tracking the path of the unnamed narrator’s thoughts and experiences. Although the narrator is‚ like most of Poe’s first-person protagonists‚ somewhat unreliable in nature‚ his unreliability is circumstantial‚ stemming from his fear and

Write your procedure in a paragraph that another student could use to verify your results. Show your data‚ graphs‚ and calculations that support your strategy. The time it takes a pendulum to complete one back-and-forth swing‚ called the pendulum’s period‚ depends only on the pendulum’s length and

EXPERIMENT No. 2 The Simple Pendulum Abstract A simple pendulum is one which can be considered to be a point mass suspended from a string or rod of negligible mass and allowing it to sway back and forth in a place. The objective of this experiment is to observe the motion of a simple pendulum‚ study simple harmonic motion‚ determine some factors that affect the period of a pendulum‚ and measure the value of acceleration due to gravity by use of a simple pendulum. The materials used were inelastic

Light of Darkness In the story‚ "The Pit and the Pendulum"‚ written by the infamous Edgar Allen Poe‚ written in 1843‚ places a man during the time of the Inquisition who is incarnated. Beginning the story‚ this man‚ who remains unnamed‚ receives a death sentence and immediately faints. Upon waking he finds himself in a completely dark room. Scared that he is inside a tomb‚ he moves around to reinsure himself. Upon exploring this darkened room he accidentally trips and falls finding that his

Z. K. L3 A THE SIMPLE PENDULUM • General Background: A mass m hanging from a string whose length is L and a pivot point on which this mass is fixed are what a simple pendulum (which was discovered during the 10th century by Ibn Yusuf) consists of. During the 17th century‚ it is developed by some physicist‚ especially by Galileo. When the mass hanging from the string is released with an initial angle‚ it starts to move with a periodic motion. The motion can be approximated as a simple

Theory: The relationship between two physical quantities can be determined by graphical means. For a simple pendulum‚ the relationship between periodic time and length is given by the equation Where‚ T is the periodic time‚ 1 is the length of the pendulum string and g is acceleration due to gravity A graph of periodic time

In Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Pit and the Pendulum‚” a nameless narrator is trapped in a prison awaiting for his fate. He ultimately finds himself being put to death by a swinging pendulum‚ and narrowly escapes. In Poe’s story‚ he many gothic elements in this narrative such as‚ a frantic narrator‚ visions about a dream-like state‚ a setting that creates an atmosphere of suspense‚ and finally the use of time to illustrate the horror of death. Poe employs these elements by the use of his playbook‚ which

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

Both prosecution and defense claim that "muzzle velocity" (speed of the bullet as it leaves the gun) is crucial to the case. Your job...FIND IT! Shown below is a diagram representing a "ballistic pendulum." The bullet is fired into the block‚ the bullet-block combination rises by a height h as shown‚ a little physics is applied‚ and ...voila!...there

Pendula A pendulum consists of an arm of low mass with a bob‚ which has a higher mass‚ on the end. The top of the arm is pivoted so that the pendulum can swing. A pendulum will continue to swing back and forth indefinately‚ until it is stopped by air friction and friction within the pivot. When the angle‚ á‚ between the stationary line of the pendulum (the line towards which the movement tends) and the line of maximum amplitude of the pendulum is quite small‚ then the time period of the pendulum can be
