    Physics Investigation: What factors affect the period of a pendulum? By Tanya Waqanika In this investigation‚ I will be looking at which factors affect the period (The time for one complete cycle‚ a left swing and a right swing) of a pendulum (a weight that dangles from a pivot so that it can swing freely). I will do this by tying a metal bob to a length of spring and dropping it from a certain height and measuring the time it takes to complete an oscillation‚ changing a variable for each of

    Is gravity always 9.8m/s2?? INTRODUCTION: A simple pendulum consists of a mass m swinging back and forth along a circular arc at the end of a string of negligible mass. A pendulum is a weight suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely. Gravity is the pull that two bodies of mass exert on one another. There are several simple experiments that will allow you to calculate the acceleration due to gravity of a falling object. A simple pendulum can determine this acceleration. The only variables

    Aim What is the effect of differing pendulum length on its period? Hypothesis If the length of the pendulum is decreased‚ the period will decrease. Variables Independent: The length of the pendulum (cm) Dependent: The period of the pendulum (s) Controlled: The weight of the swinging mass The angle for maximum displacement Materials: Pendulum (can be as simple as a mass tied to string attached to a piece of cardboard) Retort stand and clamp Stopwatch Ruler Protractor Masking tape

    the time period of a pendulum Aim: To investigate the factors affecting the time period of a pendulum. Introduction: The time period of a pendulum is the time taken for the pendulum to swing from the first position‚ A‚ through positions B and C and back to position A again. [pic] Many factors can affect the time period of the pendulum. These factors are: length of string‚ angle from which the pendulum is dropped‚ the air resistance and the weight of the pendulum. In this experiment I

    Word Processed Practical Report Pendulum Aim: To investigate the relationship between the length of pendulum and the time it takes. Theory: Hence the gravitational acceleration “g” can be calculated by this equation: T=2πLg T=2πLg (T the period in seconds‚ l the length in meter and g the gravitational acceleration in m/s2) Method: As stated earlier in the introduction‚ it was decided to measure the time for 10 complete swings‚ in order to reduce
