- Pendulum - Wikipedia
Pendulum "Simple gravity pendulum" model assumes no friction or air resistance A pendulum is a device made of a weight suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely [1]
- Pendulum | Definition, Formula, Types | Britannica
A pendulum is a body suspended from a fixed point so that it can swing back and forth under the influence of gravity The time interval of a pendulum’s complete back-and-forth movement is constant

Pendulums are in common usage Grandfather clocks use a pendulum to keep time and a pendulum can be used to measure the acceleration due to gravity For small displacements, a pendulum is a simple harmonic oscillator
- The Physics of a Pendulum: More Than Just Swinging
The pendulum is more than a swinging weight—it is a lens through which we understand time, gravity, motion, and even chaos It embodies the transition from classical mechanics to quantum mysteries, from predictable rhythms to turbulent unpredictability
- Pendulums – The Physics Hypertextbook
A pendulum is a mass suspended from a pivot point that is free to swing back and forth Because the motion is oscillatory (a fancy way to say back and forth) and periodic (repeating with a characteristic time), pendulums have been used in clocks since the 17th century

Find out about the simple pendulum Study its motion and learn how its oscillations affect the frequency and time period What are its uses and applications
- 15. 4 Pendulums - University Physics Volume 1 | OpenStax
A physical pendulum is any object whose oscillations are similar to those of the simple pendulum, but cannot be modeled as a point mass on a string, and the mass distribution must be included into the equation of motion
- How a Pendulum Works - Saint Marys University
A pendulum consists of a mass suspended from a string that is fixed to a pivot The mass is free to swing back and forth, and rests at what we will call the “equilibrium position”
