What factor has the greatest effect on the period of a pendulum?
Amrivera07
Assuming the pendulum referred to s asimple pendulum of an arm and a weight the major factors on the period are the local attraction of gravity and the length of the arm.

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.
Does amplitude effect the period of a pendulum?
no it doesnt affect the period of pendulum. the formulea that we know for simple pendulum is T = 2pie root (L/g)
How does accelaration due to gravity effect the time period of a simple pendulum?
Normally the acceleration of gravity is not a factor in the period of a simple pendulum because it does not change on Earth, but if it were to be put on another celestial body the period would change. As gravity increases the period is shorter and as the gravity is less the period is longer.
Does the weight effect the period of a pendulum?
It doesn't. Period depends on the length of the pendulum and the acceleration of gravity. Adding weight doesn't change the period at all.
What happens to the period of a pendulum if you increase its mass?
The mass has no significant effect on the period.
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 length effect the period of a pendulum?
A longer pendulum has a longer period.
Which factor affects the period of the pendulum?
The period of a pendulum is affected by the angle created by the swing of the pendulum, the length of the attachment to the mass, and the weight of the mass on the end of the pendulum.
What happens to the period of a simple pendulum if the pendulum length is doubled?
The period increases - by a factor of sqrt(2).
In simple pendulum if string is flexible then what is effect on time period?
multiply the length of the pendulum by 4, the period doubles. the period is proportional to the square of the pendulum length.
Does amplitude effect the period of a pendulum?
no it doesnt affect the period of pendulum. the formulea that we know for simple pendulum is T = 2pie root (L/g)

What happens to the period of a pendulum if you increase its mass?
The mass has no significant effect on the period.
Does the period of a pendulum increase or decrease on Moon?
The period of a pendulum (for short swings) is about 2 PI (L/g)1/2. The gravity on the moon is less than that on Earth by a factor of six, so the period of the pendulum on the moon would be greater, i.e. slower, by about a factor of 2.5.
Does gravity have the least effect on the period of the pendulum?
No,it does not have the least effect but as well contributes to its retardation
What is effect on time period of simple pendulum at centre of earth?
At the center of the Earth there would be no effective gravity; a pendulum wouldn't work as a pendulum.
