The Moon Pendulum
Would the same pendulum swing faster or slower on the Moon?
Make a prediction before changing gravity:
Period (approx.)2.01 s
Elapsed time0.0 s
Oscillations0.00
Idealized small-angle pendulum model. Timing is based on animation-frame updates and may pause in background tabs; measurements represent simulated time, not laboratory observations.
