Which swing more heavier pendulum or lighter pendulum?
A heavier pendulum will swing longer due to its greater inertia.
Does force affect a pendulum?
A pendulum is affected by the force of gravity.
How does mass affect inertia?
higher inertia higher mass
How does inertia affect gravity?
Inertia does not affect gravity, these are two entirely separate things, even though they both are produced by the same thing, which is mass. Mass creates both inertia and gravity, but inertia and gravity do not affect each other.
Properties of matter affect inertia?
Mass affects the properties of inertia
Which swing more heavier pendulum or lighter pendulum?
A heavier pendulum will swing longer due to its greater inertia.
How does height affect the period of a pendulum?
Height does not affect the period of a pendulum.
What factors affect the period of a pendulum?
In a simple pendulum, with its entire mass concentrated at the end of a string, the period depends on the distance of the mass from the pivot point. A physical pendulum's period is affected by the distance of the centre-of-gravity of the pendulum arm to the pivot point, its mass and its moment of inertia about the pivot point. In real life the pendulum period can also be affected by air resistance, temperature changes etc.
Does force affect a pendulum?
A pendulum is affected by the force of gravity.
How does the length of a pendulum affect the frequency?
A longer pendulum will have a smaller frequency than a shorter pendulum.
When is a pendulum at equilibrium?
The equilibrium point of a pendulum is when it does not oscillate and is quite stable. It does not count if you interfere with the movement of the pendulum (eg.: by holding it).
Why would changing the length of something change the amount of time for it to swing?
Imagine a pendulum, if you will. The longer a pendulum is, the longer it will take to make a full cycle. The converse is also true; if a pendulum is shorter, it will take less time to make a full cycle. The answer lies in the gravitational potential energy of the system, and the moment of inertia of the pendulum. Given a fixed mass at the end of a string with negligible mass, it is apparent that the longer the string is, the greater its moment of inertia (inertial moment is roughly analogous to the inertia of a stationary object). With only a fixed amount of gravitational potential energy to drive the pendulum, the one with a larger moment of inertia will travel slower.
How does mass affect inertia?
higher inertia higher mass
How does inertia affect gravity?
Inertia does not affect gravity, these are two entirely separate things, even though they both are produced by the same thing, which is mass. Mass creates both inertia and gravity, but inertia and gravity do not affect each other.
How does the mass of an objects affect inertia?
Mass is the measure of inertia and if you change the mass the inertia will change.
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.
