When a pendulum swings, potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy, and then back again to potential energy as the speed and elevation of the pendulum vary during the motion. The motion is measured using a Rotary Motion Sensor.

The PASPORT Rotary Motion Sensor measures angle, angular velocity, angular acceleration and linear position, velocity, and acceleration.
This pendulum accessory converts a rotary motion sensor into a pendulum.
Many lab activities can be conducted with our Wireless, PASPORT, or even ScienceWorkshop sensors and equipment. For assistance with substituting compatible instruments, contact PASCO Technical Support. We're here to help.
