 INTRODUCTION

I’ll be presenting one of the most famous experiments of physics

experiments that would explain the complexity of the gravity and how it
works.

By letting tie weight to a rope and letting fall, first you wouldn’t notice
anything but at the pass of time the weights start to make interesting and
amazing patterns.

Then I’d explain how this is works and how this is related with gravity.
 SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION

The wave pendulum is a mass suspended from a thread oscillating around

its oscillating position.

This experimental device allows the definition and measurement of the

basic characteristics of a simple and peaceful movement amplitude,
(period and frequency)
As a function of the assembly parameters (the length of the thread) and
the acceleration of gravity.

If we use several pendulums with different frequencies, a very spectacular

and interesting visual effect can be created.

This by oscillating with different frequencies, the movement of the

different pendulums became disordered and ordered in succession,
generating very colorful and spectacular movement patterns.

The objective of this is to draw the attention of the general public and to
go through all the physics involved in this insolation until reaching the
model from which it starts, the simple pendulum.

 PROCESS

The process is simple but tired

-First of all, what you going to to do is measure the threads with

the ruler, what we want to do is to have different measures with
the threads with a 7mm difference each one.

-Second, we would have to attach the threads with the nuts

with its different correspondent length.

-Third attach the threads whit the nuts to the platform and
let it dry.

-then check it out by grabbing it with the ruler

simultaneously, it should make patterns.
 CONCLUSION

In conclusion we learned about the gravity and physics and

at the same time we watched the amazing patterns it
makes.
