This is a picture of a golfer swinging their club. This relates to our physics unit because the golfer has to accelerate the club and hit the golf ball. Much like the pendulum, the golf club and the golfer's hands represent the string of the pendulum. If the golfer wants to hit the ball with less force, his period or backswing is shorter. If the golfer wants to hit the ball with more force, his period or backswing will be longer. This picture can represent how wind can affect the flight of the ball. Much like the string and weight of the pendulum, after the golf ball is hit, the wind may affect the flight of the ball.
