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).
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 effect does shortening the length of the pendulum have on the period of the pendulum?
A shorter pendulum has a shorter period. A longer pendulum has a longer period.
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 is the period of a 0.85m long pendulum?
The period of a 0.85 meter long pendulum is 1.79 seconds.

How do the parameters of a simple pendulum affect the period of a pendulum?
The period increases as the square root of the length.
How do these parameters affect the period of a pendulum?
I would not expect them to have much if any effect at all, since your list is empty.
How does the period of a pendulum difference theoretically with angular displacement and mass of ball for simple pendulum?
According to the mathematics and physics of the simple pendulum hung on a massless string, neither the mass of the bob nor the angular displacement at the limits of its swing has any influence on the pendulum's period.
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 effect does shortening the length of the pendulum have on the period of the pendulum?
A shorter pendulum has a shorter period. A longer pendulum has a longer period.
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.
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 does length effect the period of a pendulum?
A longer pendulum has a longer period.
How does height affect the period of a pendulum?
Height does not affect the period of a pendulum.
In measuring the period of a pendulum's motion with a stopwatch how could you best minimize the influence of reaction time?
In measuring the period of a pendulum's motion with a stopwatch, you can best minimize the influence of reaction time by measuring period at the maximum swing point, i.e. the point where the pendulum stops and then reverses. It is at that point that the pendulum is moving the slowest. You should also make your line of sight be perpendicular to the swing, in order to minimize parallax error; and you should have a mark of some kind that you can move around to the peak value, then recording the period between successive peak values.
Which of these pendulums would have the greatest length measured in meters a pendulum with a period of 2 seconds or a pendulum with a period of 1.5 seconds?
It doesn't matter what unit you use to measure the physical length of the pendulum. As a matter of fact, it doesn't matter what unit you use to measure the duration of its period either. If both are at rest on the same planet, then the penduum with the longer string has the longer period. Period!
