P3.2- COM and Pendulums 0.0 / 5 ? PhysicsCentre of Mass and PendulumsGCSEAQA Created by: chocolatehousesCreated on: 25-04-15 09:47 Centre of mass where the mass of an object is THOUGHT TO BE concentrated 1 of 8 A hanging object's COM is directly below the point of suspension. Called equilibrium 2 of 8 Pendulums move backwards and forwards but always returns to the middle (equilibrium position) 3 of 8 They move in an oscillating motion 4 of 8 Time period is.. how long it takes the pendulum to complete one full motion (side to side) 5 of 8 The centre has the highest.... but the lowest.... kinetic energy, GPE 6 of 8 At the highest point of swing it has the highest... but the lowest... GPE, kinetic energy 7 of 8 Fctors that affect the time period length of pendulum, the amplitude (masximum displacement) of the swing 8 of 8
