Oscillations in Mechanics

This week, the subject of oscillations was introduced in Class 10 Physics lessons. In order to make the topic more accessible, the students carried out an experiment on the coil spring pendulum. With the help of this experiment, they should have been able to recognize the variables on which the period of oscillation of a coil spring pendulum depends and how the relationship can be expressed in terms of proportionality. The aim of evaluating the experiment was to set up an oscillation equation for the pendulum.
With the help of such teaching units, students are prepared for the GIB Diploma Program, as it introduces and practices the necessary experimental skills in earlier grades.
