    Pendulum Relation
Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the relationship between a simple pendulum and a seconds pendulum, specifically defining the latter as one that completes a period in exactly two seconds. The key point is that the length of a seconds pendulum is critical for its operation, with a precise measurement of 0.994 meters required. This length ensures that the pendulum swings with the correct timing. The conversation emphasizes the importance of pendulum length in determining its period. Understanding this relationship is essential for accurate pendulum design and function.

what is the relation between simple and second pendulum?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Please define what you mean by a second pendulum. If you mean the seconds pendulum where each period is exactly 2 seconds, then the relation is simply of length. A seconds pendulum needs a specific length to operate. (0.994m to be exact)
 

Thread 'Mousetrap Car Energy efficiency'

For simple comparison, I think the same thought process can be followed as a block slides down a hill, - for block down hill, simple starting PE of mgh to final max KE 0.5mv^2 - comparing PE1 to max KE2 would result in finding the work friction did through the process. efficiency is just 100*KE2/PE1. If a mousetrap car travels along a flat surface, a starting PE of 0.5 k th^2 can be measured and maximum velocity of the car can also be measured. If energy efficiency is defined by...
