5.5.146 - Displacement-time graphs for oscillations question 1

[Maximum number: 2]

A student set up a simple pendulum. The student used a velocity sensor connected to a data logger to record the velocity of the pendulum bob.

The graph shows how the velocity of the bob varied with time.

Figure for Question 5.5.146 - Displacement-time graphs for oscillations question 1 — Edexcel A-Level Physics A2

Add a line to the graph to show how the displacement of the bob varied with time during the same time interval.
