What Is The Independent And Dependent Variables in Galileo Pendulum experiment?

Galileo's pendulum experiment showed that the period of the swing is independent of the amplitude (size) of the swing. So the independent variable is the size of the swing, and the dependent variable is the period. The experiment showed there was no dependence, for small swings anyway. The experiment led to the use of the pendulum in clocks.


Does the mass of a planet equal the size?

No, the mass of a planet does not equal the size of that particular planet.


Planets do not collide into one another because?

Every planet has different size and is placed at different distance from the sun. The gravitational pull between the sun and the planet depends upon the distance and size of the planet and hence affects the speed of rotation and revolution of the planet around its own axes as well as around the sun. This specific distance and speed of revolution and rotation locks the planet in its orbit having specific radius which is unique for every planet. This is the reason they have separate path and speed to rotate around its own axes as well as around the sun. , hence they do not collide with each other.


How do Jupiter's density and period of rotation compare to Earth's?

Jupiter is less dense and has a shorter period of rotation.


Is the planetary year dependent on the planet's size or mass?

Neither. The time required for an object to complete an orbital trip around the sun depends only on its average distance from the sun, whether it happens to be a planet, an asteroid, a school bus, a comet, a feather, or a cloud of gas.

The planet with the period of revolution closest to Earth's is?

Hi Venus is the only planet that has the revolution period closest to that of the Earth. Venus with a revolution time of 224.7 Earth days. Venus is the brightest of all the planets in the solar system and is known as the Earth's twin sister due to the similarity between the two planets in terms of Size, mass etc.


The period with longest revolution period between planet mercury mars Jupiter Saturn?

Look for the one that is furthest away. The revolution period goes up with the size of the orbit to the 3/2 power, e.g. a planet at 4 AU distance from the Sun would take 8 years to go round because 8 = 4^(1.5) Saturn has an orbital radius of just under 10 AU and takes about 30 years to go round.


Why do planets move faster than on another?

the galaxy has difrent kinds of mass arouund each planet depending on what planet you are speaking of, it might be because of mass of the planet or what size a revolution (size of a complete circle) it must make


Does the size of the planet affect it's period of rotation?

Yes, it has to do with the sun's gravitational pull.

What moon is almost the same size as the planet?

There is no planet that has the same size moon as the planet. This is only possible if Pluto was still a planet.
