Coupled Resonant Pendulums
- Description:
- For a nice example of resonance, try the Exploratorium activity at Coupled Resonant Pendulums. You'll use everyday materials to show the exchange of energy between two pendulums. The site provides a thorough description of how the two pendulums interact, contrasts their motion, and presents an easy way to find the rate of energy exchange. For a nice simulation, see Two Coupled Pendula.
