This is a simulation of a double pendulum. For large motions it is a chaotic system, but for small motions it is a simple linear system. You can change parameters in the simulation such as mass, gravity, and length of rods (enable the "show controls" checkbox). ... Physics Links...

A "bob" or "simple" pendulum is a pendulum consisting of a single spherical (or point) mass attached to a wire of negligible weight. A "physical" pendulum has extended size and is a generalization of the bob pendulum. ... The equation of motion of a physical pendulum can be found from the torque on it,

The motion of a pendulum is a classic example of mechanical energy conservation. A pendulum consists of a mass (known as a bob) attached by a string to a pivot point. As the pendulum moves it sweeps out a circular arc, ... For more information on physical descriptions of motion, visit The Physics Classroom Tutorial.

Pendulum rides are a little like the swing sets you might remember from your childhood. Swings give you a feeling of flying in a controlled manner. You pump your legs to provide enough force to increase the height of the swing's arc, and enjoy the increased velocity of the downward swing.

virtual reality pendulum physics simulation ... it also pulls the pendulum bob in to keep it on a circular path. Splitting up the resultant force on the pendulum bob (into two magenta arrows) we can see it as a combination of one force pulling the pendulum in, and another accelerating it along its circular path.

a Set up the pendulum as illustrated. Hold the pendulum-bob to one side and release it. Allow the pendulum to swing for a few cycles and then interpose the nail or dowel rod to interrupt the swing. You should find that the bob rises to the same level from which it started. ... Physics applications...

It's easy enough to understand the motion of a pendulum suspended at one of the Earth's poles, because in this case the point of suspension is not accelerating. At any other latitude, the point of suspension accelerates and this introduces some more ... This is done in Richard Feynman's Lectures on Physics (vol 1).
