A pendulum has a length 1 m and a mass 1 kg. Assume Earth free fall acceleration equal to 10 m/s^2. When the pendulum oscillates, the maximal deflection angle is +/- 1 degree.
a) Sketch the kinetic energy as a function of time between t =0 and t = 10.
b) Sketch the total energy = kinetic energy + potential energy between t=0 and t = 10.

Suppose the pendulum started losing energy at the rate 1% per period. As a result, the energy of the pendulum drops according to E(t) = E(t=0)*exp(-z*t). Let’s call z damping constant, it has units 1/sec.
Find z.
d) Sketch E(t) for the time span of a few hundred periods.

A pendulum consists of a string of length L and a mass m hung at one end and the mass oscillates along a circular arc. Part a) Familiarize yourself with the derivation of omega = Squareroot g/L to hold. i) Explain succinctly how the angular frequency of oscillation omega = Squareroot g/L comes about from Newton's Law, where g is the gravitational acceleration. ii) One assumption required is the small angle approximation: sin theta = theta and cos theta =...
