WHAT IS the term for the mass at the end of a pendulum?
The mass at the end of the pendulum is the bob
The weight on a pendulum is called?
The weight on a pendulum is a 'mass' or a 'bob'.
Differences between compound pendulum and 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.
What is the swinging mass called at the bottom of pendulum?
Any terminal object such as the weight on a pendulum is known as a Bob. It can also be called a Mass
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.
What is effect of changing mass of pendulum on value of 'g'?
yes it can change....
WHAT IS the term for the mass at the end of a pendulum?
The mass at the end of the pendulum is the bob
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.
The weight on a pendulum is called?
The weight on a pendulum is a 'mass' or a 'bob'.
Why is the period of a pendulum independent of its mass?
As we derive the expression for period using dimensional analysis, we get T = 1/2pi ./(l/g) In this no mass is present. Hence the conclusion
Differences between compound pendulum and 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.
What is the swinging mass called at the bottom of pendulum?
Any terminal object such as the weight on a pendulum is known as a Bob. It can also be called a Mass
What affects a pendulum?
The mass of the pendulum, the length of string, and the initial displacement from the rest position.
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.
What happens to a pendulum when the mass of the arm is not negligible and What do you call this type of pendulum?
Answer: The combined inertia of the arm and pendulum would alter the energy characteristics of the system and throw off the timing. Answer: If the mass of the arm is not negligible, then you can no longer assume (as in an ideal pendulum) that the entire mass is concentrated in the swinging object at the bottom. The center of mass would be higher up. Exactly how high depends on the characteristics of the pendulum; details can be calculated with integral calculus.
What is the relation between the mass and period of the pendulum?
The period is independent of the mass.
What is the period of a pedelum?
The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum displaced by a small angle is: T = (2*PI) * SquareRoot(L/g) where T is the period in seconds, L is the length of the string, and g is the gravitional field strength = 9.81 N/Kg. This equation is for a simple pendulum only. A simple pendulum is an idealised pendulum consisting of a point mass at the end of an inextensible, massless, frictionless string. You can use the simple pendulum model for any pendulum whose bob mass is much geater than the length of the string. For a physical (or real) pendulum: T = (2*PI) * SquareRoot( I/(mgr) ) where I is the moment of inertia, m is the mass of the centre of mass, g is the gravitational field strength and r is distance to the pivot from the centre of mass. This equation is for a pendulum whose mass is distributed not just at the bob, but throughout the pendulum. For example, a swinging plank of wood. If the pendulum resembles a point mass on the end of a string, then use the first equation.
