Does mass measurement include the effect of earth's gravitational pull on the object being measured?
Mass is not affected by gravity. When you measure the mass of an object with a balance, you would get the same result under any gravitational conditions except for under micro- or zero gravity, in which case there would be insufficient force to move the balance to equilibrium. If you use a spring balance, you are not getting a true mass measurement, you are getting a weight measurement that is normalized to provide the mass at that particular gravitation. In a micro- or zero gravity field, you can obtain the mass by measuring the vibration or oscillation of the object (pendulum action).
What is an oscilator?
An oscillation is a term we could use to refer to a single cycle of a cyclic or repeating motion. Let's just take one example (so we don't run it into the ground) and see how it applies. And we'll use that familiar pendulum clock. The pendulum on a clock will be driven by a spring. We swing the pendulum up, release it, and gravity and the spring do the rest. The spring, as you have guessed, adds just enough energy to offset the friction loss in the system. When we lift the pendulum and release it, it is pulled down (accelerated) by gravity. It passes through a point where it is at the "bottom" of the swing (having achieved maximum velocity), and then heads up on the other side. It's decelerating here under the influence of gravity - that same gravity that accelerated it. I continues to slow, it stops, and then accelerates back down and across the "middle" or "bottom" again. Up it goes to the top of its arc on the other side, and it returns to its starting point. It has completed one cycle of its oscillation. It has performed one oscillation. Simple, and easy.
What is the wave height of wave of oscillation?
maximum and or minimum peak of any signal measured on an oscilloscope
What are the characteristics of simple pendulum?
there are three, height, weight, and length
What are the release dates for Pendulum A Portrait of Maternal Depression - 2008?
Pendulum A Portrait of Maternal Depression - 2008 was released on: USA: 25 October 2008 (Bare Bones Film Festival)
What is the difference between coupled pendulum and simple pendulum?
simple pendulum center of mass and center of oscillation are at the same distance.coupled pendulum is having two bobs attached with a spring.
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 the example of oscillation?
Motion of pendulum.
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 are the physical parameters in the investigation of a simple pendulum?
The physical parameters of a simple pendulum include (1) the length of the pendulum, (2) the mass of the pendulum bob, (3) the angular displacement through which the pendulum swings, and (4) the period of the pendulum (the time it takes for the pendulum to swing through one complete oscillation).
How does the length of the pendulum effect the pendulum?
The longer the length of the pendulum, the longer the time taken for the pendulum to complete 1 oscillation.
Pendulum oscillation period is equal to 0.5 s What is the pendulum oscillation frequency?
T=1/f .5=1/f f=2
How many normal modes of oscillation or natural frequencies does a simple pendulum have?
simple pendulum would have 1 normal modes of oscillation or natural frequencies.
When will the motion of simple pendulum be shm?
The motion of the simple pendulum will be in simple harmonic if it is in oscillation.
Is oscillation of compound pendulum or simple pendulum is perfectly simple harmonic motion?
A simple pendulum exhibits simple harmonic motion
How does the foucault pendulum show time?
A Foucault pendulum is a pendulum with a large length which is free to oscillate in any vertical plane. At the equator, the plane of oscillation remains fixed relative to the earth. Elsewhere, the plane of oscillation rotates, at a speed that is related to the latitude of the location. In Paris, where Foucault's pendulum is located, the plane of the pendulum's oscillation moves at approx 11 degrees per hour. This movement can be used to tell the time.
How do you do a science fair project on a baseball pendulum?
You make a pendulum with a basbeall attached to an end of the string. you are testing the periods and oscillation movements of the pendulum.
