Place the ball in the plastic bag, and twist the top so the ball is secure in the bag. Wrap the twisted portion with tape so it stays tight. Use the hole punch or scissors to poke a hole in the part of the bag that’s above the ball. Slip an end of the string through the hole, and tie a knot. This is your pendulum. Hold the loose end of the string still with one hand. With the other hand, raise the ball in an arc so that it’s almost level with the hand holding the string. With the string taut, let the ball go. What do you observe?

I observe two phenomena:

Obs-1:  I don't have the materials here to perform this experiment.

Obs-2:  You have not done the assigned experiment, and you apparently have no intention of doing it.

When the plastic bag containing the ball is released, it is observed that it swings freely being accelerated towards the centre by gravity.

What is a pendulum?

A pendulum refers to a mass suspended from a point and then allowed to swing freely under acceleration due to gravitational force.

The given setup of a ball in a plastic bag is a pendulum.

The ball in the plastic bag serves as the pendulum bob.

Thus, when the plastic bag is released, it is observed that it swings freely being accelerated towards the center by gravitational force.
