What things change direction constantly?
For example, a pendulum, or anything that moves in a circle or elipse, such as a planet moving around the Sun.
How does the period of a pendulum change for length?
A longer pendulum has a longer period. A more massive pendulum has a longer period.
What are the hypothesis from pendulum experiment?
Think of your own
What causes the apparent change in the path of the pendulum?
no
Can you site an example in which the acceleration of a body is opposite in direction to its velocity?
Oscillation of a simple pendulum.
What causes the foucault pendulum to change direction?
It doesn't change direction; there is no force on it (perpendicular to the plane in which it swings) that would cause it to do so. It APPEARS to change direction relative to the Earth, but the Earth is a rotating frame of reference. If you watch the pendulum from a frame of reference above the Earth and the pendulum, you would see that it swings back and forth in its plane of oscillation. See the famous movie FRAMES of REFERENCE, with Professors Hume and Ivey, made in 1959, to see an excellent demonstration of this. Using a rotating frame, they show that a camera in the rotating frame appears to show the pendulum changing direction. Using a camera above the rotating frame, fixed to the floor, they show the pendulum never changes direction; only the frame rotates. . It swings back and forth in the same plane. There is no force on it to make it change
A Foucault pendulum appears to change its direction of swing due to the?
rotation of earth
What things change direction constantly?
For example, a pendulum, or anything that moves in a circle or elipse, such as a planet moving around the Sun.
How earth's rotation affects a pendulum?
A pendulum moves not by Earth's rotation, but by gravity pulling down and causing it to swing.
How does the period of a pendulum change for length?
A longer pendulum has a longer period. A more massive pendulum has a longer period.
How do you use a pendulum for divination?
It depends on how you were trained. No matter how you were trained, however, you first suspend the pendulum from your hand. Some people determine yes or no from the direction the pendulum spins; others use the speed of the pendulum to determine if a response is positive or negative.

What causes the apparent change in the path of pendulum?
no
What causes the apparent change in the path of the pendulum?
no
What direction do plate tectonics move in?
They don't move in a specific direction. Every plate moves in it's own direction and sometimes they can change directions.
Describe at least three ways to modify a pendulum?
Three ways to modify a pendulum include: * Change the length * Change the size of the end-weight * Change the weight of the end-weight
Can you site an example in which the acceleration of a body is opposite in direction to its velocity?
