In recent seismic events, particularly the earthquake that struck on the 6th, the phenomenon of long-period seismic waves was observed, raising concerns and curiosity among residents. This article ...
At the Houston Museum of Natural Science they recently made a disturbing discovery: their Foucault pendulum had stopped ...
Physicists have taken a gemstone better known for engagement rings and turned it into a laboratory for one of the strangest ...
The pendulum at the museum is attached to a 61-foot-long cable. It typically swings as the Earth rotates, knocking down pegs, until it suddenly stopped this month. The Houston Museum of Natural ...
Markets rarely fail from a single blow. They crack from repeated overcorrections. The current labor slump and the prior inflation burst look less like acts of God and more like a control system ...
The main aim in this paper is the analysis of types of motion of the parametric pendulum coupled to a DC generator. The mathematical modeling was firstly obtained and described in Avanço et al. (2017) ...
As the timebase for a clock, almost anything with a periodic oscillation can be used. Traditionally, that meant a pendulum, but in our time, we’ve seen plenty of others. Perhaps none as unusual as ...
“The only skyscraping girls’ school in the world” is small (600 students) Mundelein College, which is lodged near Lake Michigan in a 15-story building on Chicago’s North Side. A popular teacher of ...
In 1851, Leon Foucault began building pendulums. He realized they demonstrate Earth’s rotation, and his projects grew to include a 67-meter pendulum in the Pantheon of Paris, whose bob shifts about 2 ...
From cadence to stride length and resting heart rate to average pace, runners – and, of course, most running apps and GPS running watches – now record and track a wealth of health and fitness-related ...
From cadence to stride length and heart rate to calories burned, there’s an abundance of measurements and markers most smart watches can track these days. One metric you may have noticed even if you ...
