Determine the gravitational acceleration of Planet X

•Design experiments to determine which variables affect the period of a pendulum.

•Quantitatively describe how the period of a pendulum depends on these variables.

•Explain the small-angle approximation, and define what constitutes a “small” angle.

•Determine the gravitational acceleration of Planet X.

•Explain the conservation of mechanical energy, using kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy.

•Describe the Energy Graph from the position and speed of the pendulum.
