Galileo showed that the speed of heavy objects is the same as light ones (except for light ones that are slowed by air resistance, which is not the case for simple pendulums with reasonably heavy bobs). Since the motion of a pendulum is essentially an object falling toward the center of motion and masses fall at the same rate, the swing time of the pendulum does not depend on mass.

What happens to the period of a pendulum if you increase its mass?
The mass has no significant effect on the period.
What will be the effect of time period of a simple pendulum if its mass is doubled and its amplitude is halved?
The PERIOD of a Simple Pendulum is affected by its LENGTH, and NOT by its Mass or the amplitude of its swing. So, in your case, the Period of the Pendulum's swing would remain UNCHANGED!
What happen to the time period of pendulum if the mass of bob is changed?
If you make the simplifying assumption that everything except the bob is massless, then the mass of the bob has no effect on the period.
What effect does shortening the length of the pendulum have on the period of the pendulum?
A shorter pendulum has a shorter period. A longer pendulum has a longer period.
How does the mass of a pendulum effect the speed it goes?
As long as the mass on the end is much greater than the mass of the string it's hanging from, the mass has no effect at all on the speed or the period.

What is the effect of changig length or mass of pendulum on value of g?
Changing the length will increase its period. Changing the mass will have no effect.

If you make the simplifying assumption that everything except the bob is massless, then the mass of the bob has no effect on the period.

How does the mass of a pendulum effect the speed it goes?
As long as the mass on the end is much greater than the mass of the string it's hanging from, the mass has no effect at all on the speed or the period.
Which factor affects the period of the pendulum?
The period of a pendulum is affected by the angle created by the swing of the pendulum, the length of the attachment to the mass, and the weight of the mass on the end of the pendulum.
How does length effect the period of a pendulum?
A longer pendulum has a longer period.
What is the period of a 25 kg pendulum with a length of 45 m?
A simple pendulum with a length of 45m has a period of 13.46 seconds. If the string is weightless, then the mass of the bob has no effect on the period, i.e. it doesn't matter.
What is the relation between the mass and period of the pendulum?
The period is independent of the mass.
In simple pendulum if string is flexible then what is effect on time period?
multiply the length of the pendulum by 4, the period doubles. the period is proportional to the square of the pendulum length.
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)
