Abstract

The dynamics of a spring pendulum is an important topic in introductory experimental physics courses at universities and advanced science courses in secondary school education. Different types of pendulum setups with smartphones were proposed to investigate, e.g., the gravitational acceleration, to measure spring constants, or to illustrate and verify the principles of periodic motions and their characterization via oscillation periods. In most of these experiments the smartphone with its internal acceleration sensor or the magnetometer is used as the measurement device.
