They all came out in similar shapes, although some had much more inconsistencies with the overlapping, that being the third trial. The shapes produced in all of the trials did not give a perfect oval/ circular shape, although it was close to those shapes. Overall the phase plane for the trials had shown very similar results, with very little differences, which includes some being larger than others.

Introductory Physics Laboratory Faculty of Science, Ontario Tech University Conclusion: The purpose of the lab was to derive a greater understanding of both dynamic and kinematic properties of a simple pendulum harmonic oscillation as well as to verify the relationship among variables. We conducted this experiment by setting the cylinder to a desired angle (refer to tables above for degree used) which is referred to as the highest point, then releasing the cylinder while having the motion sensor track the movement. The capstone file detected the oscillation producing a few cycles in order to get the greatest set of data. Verifying the bob, length of the pendulum as well as displacement created, we were able to learn the different effects of the motion. The Bobs effect on the pendulum when the amplitude of the oscillation had been larger, was due to mass. When the length of the pendulum was larger, the periods also had the tendency to be greater. Possible errors that occurred include not having the angle be exactly at the desired degree as the angle is dependent on the person releasing the mass and string. Another error is not having the length of the string be exactly at 1m or 0.25m as it is also dependent on the person conducting the experiment to cut the string and measure it precisely. Starting the timer at the exact time as the string and weight is released may not have been accurate as one person starts and stops the timer while the other is releasing which may result in incomplete cycles. Overall this lab taught students conducting the experiment that simple modifications to a pendulum which for example could be altering mass, will have an outcome where the results of the energy and gravity vary.
