A pendulum is defined as a mass, connected to a rod or rope, that experiences simple harmonic motion as it swings back and forth without friction. The equilibrium position of the pendulum is the position when the mass is hanging directly downward. Consider a pendulum bob connected to a massless rope or rod that is held at an angle from the horizontal. If you release the mass, then the system will swing to position and back again.
The Main Idea
State, in your own words, the main idea for this topic Electric Field of Capacitor
Properties of Pendulum Motion
What are the mathematical equations that allow us to model this topic. For example [math]\displaystyle{ {\frac{d\vec{p}}{dt}}_{system} = \vec{F}_{net} }[/math] where p is the momentum of the system and F is the net force from the surroundings.
Period of Oscillation
Energy
Velocity
A Computational Model

Examples
Be sure to show all steps in your solution and include diagrams whenever possible

Difficult
Connectedness
Talk about clocks
As you see, the pendulum motion can be seen in our everyday life. As an architecture major, I have always been interested art and design. Different sculptures, installations, and art pieces can even be achieved throughout the application of a pendulum motion. Take a look here
History
Put this idea in historical context. Give the reader the Who, What, When, Where, and Why.
