Using a Pendulum to Determine g Aim: To determine the rate of acceleration due to gravity using the motion of a pendulum. Hypothesis: The numerical g value measured on earth is estimated to be 9.8 ms-2 Apparatus: * Retort Stand * Boss head and clamp * Approximately 1 metre of string * 50g mass carrier or pendulum bob * Stopwatch * Metre ruler Theory: When a simple pendulum swings with a small angle‚ the mass on the end performs a good approximation of the back-and-forth

PCS125 Lab – The Simple Pendulum Objective and Background Objective: The Objective of this experiment is to examine the simple harmonic motion and to determine the value of the acceleration due to gravity from the analysis of the period of the simple pendulum. [1] Background: There are three equations that will be used to calculate the period of motion of the simple pendulum. They are the slope of the line of the graph of T² against L‚ and the gravity of the pendulum motion. The period of the

What Factors Affect the Period of a Pendulum? Introduction In this experiment‚ my group will find out what are the factors that affect the period of a pendulum. In this report‚ I will personally explain the aim of the experiment‚ the hypothesis of my group‚ the variables‚ the apparatus‚ method‚ data‚ data analysis‚ evaluation and last but not least the conclusion. Aim To find out whether the heavy or light pendulum will affect the period as well as the string’s length Hypothesis

“To what extent does the length of the string affect the period of a simple pendulum?” IBDP PHYSICS Internal Assessment – The Simple Pendulum 9 INTRODUCTION The original aim for this invesigation was to “investigate the simple pendulum”. There are many variables one could look into‚ such as displacement‚ angle‚ damping‚ mass of the bob etc. The most interesting variable‚ however‚ is the length of the swinging pendulum. The relationship between the length and the time for one swing (the period)

Pendulum From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia For other uses‚ see Pendulum (disambiguation). "Simple gravity pendulum" model assumes no friction or air resistance. A pendulum is a weight suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely.[1] When a pendulum is displaced sideways from its resting equilibrium position‚ it is subject to a restoring force due to gravity that will accelerate it back toward the equilibrium position. When released‚ the restoring force combined with the pendulum’s mass
Premium Pendulum
Pendula A pendulum consists of an arm of low mass with a bob‚ which has a higher mass‚ on the end. The top of the arm is pivoted so that the pendulum can swing. A pendulum will continue to swing back and forth indefinately‚ until it is stopped by air friction and friction within the pivot. When the angle‚ á‚ between the stationary line of the pendulum (the line towards which the movement tends) and the line of maximum amplitude of the pendulum is quite small‚ then the time period of the pendulum can be

calculations and ultimately creating a time piece (oscillator) Method In part A (Simple Pendulum) we will measure the effects of mass on the period of the pendulum. We will also calculate the period using small angular displacements and compare the results. We will also explore the effects on the period when the angular displacement is not “very small” (in essence > 10°). Lastly we will look at creating our own pendulum clock to create a period of 1 second. In part B (Mass on a Spring) we will experiment

the swing of a pendulum will be the star of this chapter. First‚ I will describe how the weight of the bob in the swing of a pendulum affects the amount of swings that a pendulum can swing in a certain amount of time. If the bob is light‚ like a penny or a paper clip‚ the pendulum can swing a large amount of times because the pendulum does not have a lot of weight to carry at the end of it. If the bob at the end of the string is heavy‚ like a half-dollar or a quarter‚ the pendulum cannot swing as
