The 30 pages that link to Pendulum, each with the reason it gives.

• Classical mechanicsBroader topic: Its motion illustrates oscillation, energy exchange, and small-angle approximations.

• Newtonian mechanicsBroader topic: Its changing motion illustrates Newtonian forces, energy, and approximations.

• Center of gravityBroader topic: Its center of gravity determines the gravitational torque that restores the swing.

• OscillationBroader topic: A pendulum provides a familiar mechanical example of oscillation.

• Mechanical energyBroader topic: Its changing height and speed illustrate mechanical energy exchange.

• Phase portraitBroader topic: Its phase portrait distinguishes oscillation from complete rotation.

• Hamiltonian systemBroader topic: Its idealized motion is a simple example of a Hamiltonian system.

• Period (time interval)Broader topic: A pendulum provides a familiar physical cycle whose duration depends on length and gravity.

• Restoring forceBroader topic: Gravity supplies a restoring component that drives its small-angle oscillations.
