What is the torque acting on the pendulum of length L inclined at an angle?
The pendulum frequency is dependent upon the length of the pendulum. The torque is the turning force of the pendulum.
What variables affect the swing of a pendulum?
-- friction in the pivot -- air moving past the pendulum -- the effective length of the pendulum -- the local acceleration of gravity
Does the height of release affect the swing of a pendulum?
no.
How can you make a pendulum to swing faster?
If the pendulum was pushed with a large force or if it was heavier. It might swing faster.
Does amplitude effect the period of a pendulum?
no it doesnt affect the period of pendulum. the formulea that we know for simple pendulum is T = 2pie root (L/g)
Does friction affect the period of a pendulum or metronome?
No, because there's a resoring force from the coil.
What 3 variables that might affect the number of cycles the pendulum makes in 15 seconds?
The length of the pendulum, the angular displacement of the pendulum and the force of gravity. The displacement can have a significant effect if it is not through a small angle.
How does height affect the period of a pendulum?
Height does not affect the period of a pendulum.
Does the pendulum affected by a force?
no force does not effect the pendulum as it depends upon the oscillations.
Is a pendulum an unbalanced force?
a pendulum is not only an unbalanced force it also is a "swinger" that swings in a back and forth motion because of this "force"
How does the length of a pendulum affect the frequency?
A longer pendulum will have a smaller frequency than a shorter pendulum.
How does a pendulum bob filled with sand and a hole at bottom affect the time period?
At the extremities of the pendulum's swing, the sand leaving the bob could exert a force on the bob. Provided that this force is negligible and also, provided the mass of the bob (with or without the sand) is large compared with the rest of the pendulum, the time period should not be affected.
What is the torque acting on the pendulum of length L inclined at an angle?
The pendulum frequency is dependent upon the length of the pendulum. The torque is the turning force of the pendulum.
How do the parameters of a simple pendulum affect the period of a pendulum?
The period increases as the square root of the length.
Does the height of release affect the swing of a pendulum?
no.
What variables affect the swing of a pendulum?
-- friction in the pivot -- air moving past the pendulum -- the effective length of the pendulum -- the local acceleration of gravity
How can you make a pendulum to swing faster?
If the pendulum was pushed with a large force or if it was heavier. It might swing faster.
