I just added the energy plot visualization that @kristi-h-lee made. |

Also, it looks like we have two parallel versions of the project, one in PR #5 and one here. I think we should make sure we're doing a better job communicating going forward. |

I implemented the simulation and animation code Professor Cooper showed in his pendulum example for our specific problem. Since @GeorgeHanna04 already set up the Lagrangian, all I really needed to do was update the parameters to incorporate Ω and w1. Lastly, I used AI to help me rewrite the original animation code into a function. This allowed me to easily call it to create gifs for the slow and fast pendulum scenarios. As expected, the slow scenario just looks like a normal pendulum, but the fast scenario causes the pendulum to swing out from centrifugal force.
