Oscillation Measurements

There are two videos of oscillators. I'll ask you to use a stopwatch to measure one or more periods for each. Make sure to load the video first to avoid any skipping in video playback.

Don't try to go back and measure each one more than once - just give it a good go the first time and record your number (like you'd probably do in the lab, if we're being honest, right?). The whole thing should take less than 10 minutes.

Enter all times in seconds, including all available decimal places. DO NOT WRITE UNITS IN THE RESPONSE.

Measure the period by timing the first cycle in the pendulum video. Enter the time in seconds, but without writing the unit - just enter the number. *

Measure the period by timing a single cycle (not the first cycle) in the pendulum video. *

Measure the period in the spring video by timing a single cycle (not the first). *

Measure ten cycles of the spring video (not starting on the first). Be careful to actually measure ten cycles! Enter the time for ten cycles here, not the period. *
