Introduction
LaTeX is a powerful typesetting system widely used in academia for producing scientific and
mathematical documents due to its ability to handle complex formatting and equations. The document
under review explores the dynamics of a pendulum in a non-uniformly accelerating frame, a topic of
significant interest in classical mechanics. The LaTeX script begins with the document class declaration
and necessary package inclusions, which are crucial for formatting and functionality.

2. Document Class and Packages

The first lines of the LaTeX document specify the document class and include packages: tex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{booktabs}

● \documentclass{article}: This command sets the type of document to be created. The article
class is suitable for shorter documents, such as research papers and reports.
● \usepackage{graphicx}: This package allows for the inclusion of graphics and images in the
document. It provides commands such as \includegraphics to insert images.
● \usepackage{amsmath}: This package enhances the mathematical typesetting
capabilities of LaTeX, allowing for better formatting of equations.
● \usepackage{booktabs}: This package is used for creating professional-quality tables with
improved spacing and line thickness.

3. Title, Author, and Date

The next section of the script defines the title, author, and date of the document: tex

\title{Pendulum Motion in a Non-Uniformly Accelerating Reference

Frame}
\author{A. Partner, B. Partner, C. Partner}
\date{December 3, 2018}

● \title{...}: This command sets the title of the document, which will be displayed prominently
at the beginning.
● \author{...}: This command specifies the authors of the document. Multiple authors can be
listed, separated by commas.
● \date{...}: This command sets the date of publication. If left empty, LaTeX will use the
current date.

4. Document Structure
The main content of the document is enclosed within the \begin{document} and
\end{document} commands:
tex
\begin{document}
\maketitle

● \begin{document}: This command marks the beginning of the document content.

● \maketitle: This command generates the title section of the document, incorporating the title,
author(s), and date specified earlier.

5. Abstract Section
The abstract provides a brief summary of the document's content: tex
\begin{abstract}
In this experiment, we studied pendulum motion in a non-uniformly accelerating reference frame.
\end{abstract}

● \begin{abstract}: This environment is used to create an abstract section, which summarizes

the main findings and purpose of the document.

6. Main Sections

The document is divided into several sections, each introduced with the \section{…}
command:
tex
\section{Introduction}
Motivate why you chose the problem that you did. Why is it interesting?

● \section{...}: This command creates a new section with a specified title. Sections are numbered
automatically.
Each section contains relevant content. For example, the introduction motivates the choice of the problem
and its significance in the field of mechanics.

7. Background Section
The background section summarizes the physical theory relevant to the study: tex
\section{Background}
The dependence of interest is given by:
\begin{equation}
L = \frac{1}{2}m\ell^2(\dot{\theta} + \dot{\phi_0})^2 - mge(t)\ell\cos(\theta)
\end{equation}

● \begin{equation}: This environment is used to display equations that are numbered

automatically. The equation represents the Lagrangian of the pendulum system.

8. Methods Section
The methods section describes the experimental setup:
tex
\section{Methods}
Describe the experimental setup used in the experiment.

This section should detail the apparatus, procedures, and methodologies employed in the experiment.

9. Results Section
The results section presents experimental findings, including tables and figures:

tex
\begin{table}[h]
\centering
\caption{Experimental Results}
\begin{tabular}{@{}cc@{}}
\toprule
$x$ (m) & $V$ (V) \\ \midrule
0.0044 & 0.0031 \\
0.0022 & 0.0021 \\
0.0004 & 0.0019 \\
0.0024 & 0.0013 \\ \bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

 ● \begin{table}[h]: This command begins a table environment, with [h] indicating that the table
should be placed "here" in the text.
● \centering: This command centers the table on the page.
● \caption{...}: This command provides a caption for the table, which describes its content.
● \begin{tabular}{@{}cc@{}}: This command begins a tabular environment, defining the
layout of the table. The c indicates that the columns are centered.

10. Conclusions Section

The conclusions summarize the findings and reflect on the results: tex
\section{Conclusions}
Briefly summarize your findings. Did you learn any new physics? Was everything as expected?

This section should encapsulate the main takeaways from the experiment and analysis.

11. Future Work Section

The future work section discusses potential next steps in research: tex
\section{Future Work}
Discuss any outstanding questions and next steps.

This section can highlight areas for further investigation or unresolved questions from the study.

12. References Section

Finally, the references section lists all cited works:
tex
\begin{thebibliography}{9}
\bibitem{ref1} A. C. Melissinos and J. Napolitano, \textit{Experiments in Modern Physics}, Academic
Press, New York, 2003.
\end{thebibliography}

● \begin{thebibliography}{...}: This environment is used to create a bibliography.

The argument specifies the widest label.
● \bibitem{...}: This command defines a bibliographic entry. The label can be used for citations
within the text.
