yes! it definitely depends on the length of the string.
when the string is long it takes more time unlike when the string is short it takes lesser time........

How does the length of the string affect the period of the pendulum?
Well compare a pendulum with swing. If the swing length is short, you will quickly return back to your middle position. Similarly in a pendulum if you have a long string, the time take to complete one swing will be more. This means Time period is directly proportional to the increase in length . But by various experiments, they have found that T Is proportional to sq root of length. T = 2pi sq root of (length /g) If you wish to clarify physics doubts, please subscribe to my handle @Raj-bi7xp
What can make the pendulum swing faster?
By shorten the string 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
What do the length of the cord and gravity determine for a pendulum?
They determine the length of time of the pendulum's swing ... its 'period'.
What changes can you make to affect the pendulum so that it can swing more or less swings in 15 seconds?
You can affect the pendulum to move down or up and it will be will might be 11 or 12 seconds because of the length and how you want the pendulum for it to move.
What factors affect the swing of a pendulum?
Air resistance, Gravity, Friction, The attachment of the pendulum to the support bar, Length of String, Initial Energy (if you just let it go it will go slower than if you swing it) and the Latitude. Amplitude only affects large swings (in small swing the amplitude is doesn't affect the swing time). Mass of the pendulum does not affect the swing time. A formula for predicting the swing of a pendulum: T=2(pi)SQRT(L/g) T = time pi = 3.14... SQRT = square root L = Length g = gravity
What is a pendulum in science?
A pendulum is a piece of string attached to a 20 g mass that if you double the length it will take twice as long to swing.

How do you control frequency?
For a pendulum, or a child on a swing: Change the length of the pendulum or the swing-chains. For a guitar string: Change the tension (tune it), or the length (squeeze it into a fret). For an electronic oscillator: Change the piezo crystal, or change a capacitor or inductor for one of a different value.

How does the length of a pendulum affect the number of swings in 30 seconds?
If it is a short pendulum, then the leg or whatever you call it has a smaller distance to cover, and therefore can swing faster than a longer pendulum.
Does the height of release affect the swing of a pendulum?
no.
Does the length of a pendulum effect how it swings?
Yes, the length of a pendulum affects its swing. The oscillation will be longer with a longer length and shorter with a shorter length.
What makes a pendulum swing?
The length ,mass and angle :)
