A fun physics activity from science buddies.
Marble in a bowl physics.
Shm and the marble.
Get a feel for the force required to maintain this periodic motion.

What is the restoring force and what role does the force you apply play in the simple harmonic motion shm of the marble.
We can make it roll back and forth just as a marble would in a real bowl.
Place a marble inside the bowl and tilt the bowl periodically so the marble rolls from the bottom of the bowl to equally high points on the sides of the bowl.
In our atomic ion experiments we can make an atomic marble.
The friction causes a torque which is not included in the op s computation.
When the jell o is set in each cup place a marble on the surface of the jell o in the center of the cup.
Marble in glass bowl purpose.
And at some instance of time then the atom will be on the right side of the bowl and a little bit later on the left side of the bowl.
Physics stack exchange is a question and answer site for active researchers academics and students of physics.
Find a bowl or basin that is shaped like a hemisphere on the inside.
Start the marble rolling tangentially in the bowl to obtain an orbit then observe the effects of conservation of angular momentum.
To demonstrate orbits in a gravitational potential well.
Get a feel for the force required to maintain this periodic motion.
If one calculates.
