DIY + Simulation: Pendulum, Spring Force, Friction Test

🕰️ Pendulum Setup (DIY)

• Take a thread and tie a small weight.
• Hang it and let it swing freely.
• Measure time for 10 oscillations.

🌀 Spring Force Test

• Attach weights to a spring vertically.
• Note the stretch for each mass.
• Plot Force vs Extension.

🛷 Friction Test

• Push a toy on smooth & rough surfaces.
• Observe distance moved.
• More friction = shorter slide.

💡 What Did You Learn?

• ⏱️ Pendulum time depends on length, not mass.
• 🌀 Spring follows a linear law: F ∝ x.
• 🛷 Friction slows motion on rougher surfaces.
