Theory: The relationship between two physical quantities can be determined by graphical means. For a simple pendulum‚ the relationship between periodic time and length is given by the equation Where‚ T is the periodic time‚ 1 is the length of the pendulum string and g is acceleration due to gravity A graph of periodic time

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

Abstract A pendulum was constructed and altered with differing weights‚ swing lengths‚ and pendulum lengths. The period for each variation was recorded and compared to find the factors that affected the length of the period. It was concluded that the length of the pendulum was the determining factor for the period of the swing. Introduction In 1581‚ Galileo began studying at the University of Pisa‚ where his father hoped he would study medicine. While at the University of Pisa‚ Galileo

One Title: Determination of the acceleration due to gravity with a simple pendulum Introduction and Theory: A simple pendulum performs simple harmonic motion‚ i.e. its periodic motion is defined by an acceleration that is proportional to its displacement and directed towards the centre of motion. It can be shown that the period T of the swinging pendulum is proportional to the square root of the length l of the pendulum: T2= (4π2l)/g with T the period in seconds‚ l the length in meters

length of a simple pendulum affects the time for a complete swing Theory When the pendulum is at the top of its swing it is momentarily stationary. It has zero kinetic energy and maximum gravitational potential energy. As the pendulum falls the potential energy is transferred to kinetic energy. The speed increases as the pendulum falls and reaches a maximum at the bottom of the swing. Here the speed and kinetic energy are a maximum‚ and the potential energy is a minimum. As the pendulum rises the kinetic

Simple Pendulum Experiment In this experiment you will make a simple pendulum consisting of a plumb bob and a piece of string anchored at two points. By attaching the string to two points the normal precession that would occur will be eliminated.

Simple Pendulum PURPOSE The purpose of this experiment is to study how the period of a pendulum depends on length‚ mass‚ and amplitude of the swing. THEORY A simple pendulum is an idealized model consisting of a point mass (sometimes called a pendulum bob) suspended by a massless unstretchable string. When the bob is pulled to one side of its straight down equilibrium position and released‚ it oscillates about the equilibrium position. The path of the bob is not a straight line but an arc

The compound pendulum Consider an extended body of mass with a hole drilled though it. Suppose that the body is suspended from a fixed peg‚ which passes through the hole‚ such that it is free to swing from side to side‚ as shown in Fig. 98. This setup is known as a compound pendulum. | Figure 98: A compound pendulum. | Let be the pivot point‚ and let be the body’s centre of mass‚ which is located a distance from the pivot. Let be the angle subtended between the downward vertical (which passes

| The Ballistic Pendulum | Determining the initial speed of a projectile | | | | | THE BALLISTIC PENDULUM ABSTRACT The experiment was carried out to determine the initial speed of a projectile: i) by means of a ballistic pendulum. ii) by measurements of the range and vertical distance of fall during its flight. The initial speed for the ballistic pendulum was found to be 5.0551±0.0008m/s and the initial speed for the pendulum was found to be 4.72±0.02 m/s. INTRODUCTION:
