The time taken to complete a full cycle of vibration in a pendulum.
Period
The number of oscillations a pendulum makes in a given amount of time, typically measured in Hertz (Hz).
Frequency
The repeated back and forth movement of a pendulum.
Oscillation
The mass attached to the end of a simple pendulum.
Bob
The lowest point in the swing of a pendulum, where it moves the fastest.
Equilibrium Position
The energy stored in a pendulum when it is at its maximum height.
Potential Energy
The energy of motion of a pendulum, maximum at the equilibrium position.
Kinetic Energy
Forces that reduce the amplitude of oscillation over time, such as friction or air resistance.
Damping Effects
The type of motion described by a sine wave, characteristic of simple harmonic motion.
Sinusoidal Manner
The distance from the pivot point to the bob, which affects the period of the pendulum.
