What is the scientific theory of a pendulum?
The theory of a simple pendulum refers to a relatively huge object hanging vertically by a string from a fixed place and moving in a back and forth motion when displaced. The movement of the huge object or pendulum bob is repetitive and regular.
Which type of motion is exhibited by tortional pendulum?
A torsional pendulum exhibits rotational periodic motion. You can create one by hanging some weight from a cord, and then rotating the weight. The cord becomes twisted, generating a torsion force, that will cause the weight to rotate in the oppopsite direction. Thus, a periodic rotation movement is generated.
What advantages are there to having a wall clock that operates on a pendulum?
Many wall clocks function from an internal gear that keeps the time smooth, yet erratic. However, clocks that incorporate a pendulum are much more accurate. The reason is that pendulums always have a set period regardless of the cord length, thus by the laws of physics they are subject to remain at a constant beat and keep tie extremely efficiently. In addition, a pendulum functioned wall clock is very quiet and offers a sense of silence unlike that of its gear operated counterpart.
Why does the shorter string of the pendulum swing faster?
Make the pendulum longerMake the pendulum heavierMake it swing in a vacuumLubricate the pivot point to reduce frictionItem 1 is the only way to make the "period" longer. The period being the time to complete a cycle. The other suggestions will make the pendulum swing for a longer time but will not affect the period.
A 12g rifle bullet is fired with a speed of 380 v into a ballistic pendulum with mass 6 kg suspended from a cord 70 cm long What is the vertical height through which the pendulum rises?
Wiki doesn't do your homework, so it is time to get busy. OH yeah that's what i said oh yeah u tokd him/her (whoever asked this question)
How do you make the period of a pendulum longer?
The period of a pendulum can be made longer by lengthening the cord or stick that connects the weight and the pivot. (Assuming that you cannot change the force of gravity.)

How much does a power cord cost?
Length and wire gauge will determine this for you...
Why we use two masses with identical geometries for simple pendulum?
An ideal (simple) pendulum has ONE mass, and a massless cord that sustains it.
Which type of motion is exhibited by tortional pendulum?
A torsional pendulum exhibits rotational periodic motion. You can create one by hanging some weight from a cord, and then rotating the weight. The cord becomes twisted, generating a torsion force, that will cause the weight to rotate in the oppopsite direction. Thus, a periodic rotation movement is generated.
What is the length of spermatic cord?
7cm
What is the normal length of umbilical cord?
Normal length of an umbilical cord can range from a couple feet in length to less than one foot, it all depends on the particular pregnancy.
If given the length of arc and the radius how do you figure the straight line cord?
The radius is a cord, is it not?
What is the magnitude of the tension in the cord?
Tension = mass(acceleration) + force of gravity Force of gravity equals mass times gravity (9.8m/s2)
What is spinal cord length?
45 cm
What is the difference between full cord and face cord of wood?
A full cord is 4fthigh x 4ftwide x8ft in lengthA face cord is 4fthigh x 8ft in length and it's width is the length of the wood pieces (usually 16-18 inches)
What length is the cord for the Norelco Reflex 7310 XL shaver?
The Norelco Reflex 7310 XL shaver is a cordless razor,so the cord has zero length.
