What is a pendulum bob?
The bob is the weight on the end of the pendulum.
The weight on a pendulum is called?
The weight on a pendulum is a 'mass' or a 'bob'.
WHAT IS the term for the mass at the end of a pendulum?
The mass at the end of the pendulum is the bob
What is the bob of a pendulum?
The bob of a pendulum is the mass or weight located at the bottom end of the pendulum that swings back and forth. It helps determine the period of the pendulum's motion and influences its overall behavior.
What happens to time period of a simple pendulum if a heavy body is attached to it instead of bob?
The period of a simple pendulum is independent of the mass of the bob. Keep in mind that the size of the bob does affect the length of the pendulum.
Why is the weight on a pendulum called bob?
The weight on a pendulum is called a "bob" because the term "bob" historically referred to any weight suspended from a string or rope. It is often used in mechanical devices like pendulums to provide a swinging motion.
What happen to the time period of pendulum if the mass of bob is changed?
The period of a pendulum is not affected by the mass of the bob. The period is determined by the length of the pendulum and the acceleration due to gravity. Changing the mass of the bob will not alter the time period of the pendulum's swing.
Why is spherical bob preferred to other shapes in the pendulum experiment?
A spherical bob is preferred in a pendulum experiment because it experiences less air resistance compared to other shapes like a flat disc or irregular shape. Therefore, a spherical bob allows for more accurate measurements of the period of the pendulum swing. Additionally, a spherical bob provides a consistent and uniform distribution of mass which helps in simplifying the analysis of the pendulum's motion.
What is the potential energy of a pendulum bob when it has a maximum kinetic energy?
When a pendulum bob has a maximum kinetic energy, all of the potential energy has been converted to kinetic energy. Therefore, the potential energy of the pendulum bob is zero at that point.
If the mass of bob of a simple pendulum is doubled its time period is what?
The time period of a simple pendulum is not affected by the mass of the bob, as long as the amplitude of the swing remains small. So, doubling the mass of the bob will not change the time period of the pendulum.
What is meant by bob in physics?
I THINK BOB REFERS TO THE BALL IN THE PENDULUM
What does a bob look like?
The BOB car has been designed to look like Bob the Builder.
