Negative Exponentially Damped Harmonic Motion from a PocketLab Pendulum
This experiment allows one to do a quantitative investigation of the damped harmonic motion of a swinging pendulum. The pendulum is a piece of wood about a yard long from a Michael's hobby shop one end of which has been attached to a PocketLab by a rubber band. The other end is taped to the top of a doorway, allowing the resultant pendulum to swing back-and-forth as shown in the image below.
