Abstract

AbstractThis chapter describes two further pendulum experiments using the acceleration sensor of a smartphone in this book [for earlier contributions concerning this topic, including the description of the operation and use of the acceleration sensor, see Refs. [1] (Chap. 6) and [2] (Chap. 29)]. In this chapter we focus on analyzing spring pendulum phenomena. Therefore two spring pendulum experiments will be described in which a smartphone is used as a pendulum body and SPARKvue [3] software is used in conjunction with an iPhone or an iPod touch, or the Accelogger [4] app for an Android device [1, 2]. As described in Ref. [1], the values measured by the smartphone are subsequently exported to a spreadsheet application (e.g., MS Excel) for analysis.
