What happens to the period of a pendulum if you increase its mass?
The mass has no significant effect on the period.
WHAT IS the term for the mass at the end of a pendulum?
The mass at the end of the pendulum is the bob
The weight on a pendulum is called?
The weight on a pendulum is a 'mass' or a 'bob'.
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 happens to the period of a pendulum when the mass is doubled?
When the length of a pendulum is increased, by any amount, its Time Period increases. i.e. it moves more slowly. Conversely, if the length is decreased, by any amount, its Time Period decreases. i.e. it moves faster.

What is a pendulum in science?
A pendulum is a piece of string attached to a 20 g mass that if you double the length it will take twice as long to swing.
What happens to a pendulum when the mass of the arm is not negligible and What do you call this type of pendulum?
Answer: The combined inertia of the arm and pendulum would alter the energy characteristics of the system and throw off the timing. Answer: If the mass of the arm is not negligible, then you can no longer assume (as in an ideal pendulum) that the entire mass is concentrated in the swinging object at the bottom. The center of mass would be higher up. Exactly how high depends on the characteristics of the pendulum; details can be calculated with integral calculus.
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 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.
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.
The weight on a pendulum is called?
The weight on a pendulum is a 'mass' or a 'bob'.
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 is the swinging mass called at the bottom of pendulum?
Any terminal object such as the weight on a pendulum is known as a Bob. It can also be called a Mass
What affects a pendulum?
The mass of the pendulum, the length of string, and the initial displacement from the rest position.
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.
