SUMMARY
The acceleration of a pendulum as a function of time can be described using the principles of Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM). The relevant equations include acceleration, displacement, and velocity formulas derived from SHM. Specifically, the acceleration can be expressed as a function of angular displacement and gravitational force. Understanding these relationships is crucial for accurately modeling pendulum motion over time.
