Calculus is used to derive the simple harmonic motion equations for a simple pendulum. Equations derived are position, velocity, and acceleration as a function of time, angular frequency, and period. Want Lecture Notes? http://www.flippingphysics.com/SHMde... This is an AP Physics C: Mechanics topic.
