What are applications in a science fair experiment?
easy
What does a fixed variable mean in science?
A variable within an experiment that remains the same. Such as the weight of a pendulum.
What is the controlled variable in pendulum experiment?
It depends on the experiment... but the possible constants for such an experiment could be...The mass of the weight at the end of the string (which is independent from the SHM)The length of the stringThe height of the weight when released (not necessarily)Then given that you don't need to put on would be the gravitational force of acceleration 9.81 ms-2, etc.
When is an experimental variable good and when should it be reduced or eliminated?
There are generally 3 variable in an experiment : the dependent, independent and the control variable. The independent variable is something you change in your experiment and affects the dependent variable, while the control variable is there to make sure the experiment is a fair test. (eliminate external factors) A variable is considered good when it allows you to find a relationship or to investigate your theory. eg. A simple experiment : To investigate whether length of pendulum affects the period of a pendulum. IN this case, your independent variable would be the length of pendulum(to be changed) while your dependent variable is the time taken for 1 oscillation. You can plot x-y graphs to find the relationship between the two to help you conclude your experiment. ( Wind factor should be eliminated as it will affect your readings). There is no control variable for this experiment as period is dependent only on length and gravity.(unless gravitational force changes) There are times when a variable can be affected by many other factors. So in your experiment, you might want to eliminate those factor so that you can make a conclusion.
What are the basic condition for the system to be called simple pendulum.?
what is the principle behind simple pendulum no because heavy body is suspended with light extensibe string.
Give three applications of simple pendulum in your daily life?
applications of simple pendulum
What are the applications of the simple pendulum?
clock
Why is a simple pendulum bob preferred to bobs of irregular shapes for use in the simple pendulum experiment?
it is less ffected by air resistance
Why the acceleration of free fall by means of the simple pendulum methods?
physical meaning of experiment of acceleration of free fallby means of the simple pendulum
Conclusion of simple pendulum experiment?
Only the length of the pendulum has an influence on the pendulum's speed, not the mass or angle of it. Although if the pendulum is red it may blow-up depending on its status.
Why a compound pendulum is called equivalent simple pendulum?
Compound pendulum is a physical pendulum whereas a simple pendulum is ideal pendulum. The difference is that in simple pendulum centre of mass and centre of oscillation are at the same distance.
Is oscillation of compound pendulum or simple pendulum is perfectly simple harmonic motion?
A simple pendulum exhibits simple harmonic motion
What are the physical and medical applications of the simple pendulum experiment?
1- Walking: Some aspects of walking can be analyzed in terms of the simple harmonic motion of a pendulum. The motion of one foot in each step can be considered as approximately a half-cycle of a simple harmonic motion. 2- Energy Expended in Running: During each step of the run, the leg is accelerated to a maximum angular velocity ωmax. In our pendulum model, this maximum angular velocity is reached as the foot swings past the vertical position =0. 3- Carrying Loads.
What is the amount of error when using a stopwatch in the simple pendulum experiment and by repeating the amount of swings when timing does this make it more accurate?
no.
What affects the period of the pendulum?
of course ... the length of the pendulum ... :) base on our experiment >>>
What are the two precautions taken to ensure accurate results in simple pendulum experiment?
if you are conducting the experiment under a fan, switch off the fan to avoid your pendulum bob to swing in different degree. #stainless
When will the motion of simple pendulum be shm?
The motion of the simple pendulum will be in simple harmonic if it is in oscillation.
