    Quick question on coupled pendulum kinetic energy

    I have found that the kinetic energy term for each mass on a coupled (by a spring) pendulum has no \dot{y} terms, as in the the masses do not move in the y direction at all. What am I missing here? I know they are connected, but in the first normal mode, both masses should move like regular...
