What effect does decreasing the weight of the bob have on the period of the pendulum?
The weight of the bob will determine how long the pendulum swings before coming to rest in the absence of applied forces. The period, or time of 1 oscillation, is determined only by the length of the pendulum.
Why does the bob of a swinging pendulum comes to rest after sometime?
Because of energy loss via friction.
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 is a pendulum?
A pendulum is an object that is attached to a pivot point so it can swing without friction. This object is subject to a restoring force that will accelerate it toward an equilibrium position. When the pendulum is displaced from its place of rest, the restoring force will cause the pendulum to oscillate about the equilibrium position. In other words, a weight attached to a string swings back and forth.A basic example is the simple gravity pendulum or bob pendulum. This is a weight (or bob) on the end of a mass less string, which, when given an initial push, will swing back and forth under the influence of gravity over its central (lowest) point.The regular motion of pendulums can be used for time keeping, and pendulums are used to regulate pendulum clocks.
What affects a pendulum?
The mass of the pendulum, the length of string, and the initial displacement from the rest position.
When a pendulum stops swaying and its at rest has it loss energy?
Yes. Pendulum lose energy due to friction with the air.
How do you label a pendulum?
You must stick the label on the weight while it's at rest, and only then draw it to one side and release it to begin the to-and-fro motion of the pendulum.

How does a pendulum bob filled with sand and a hole at bottom affect the time period?
At the extremities of the pendulum's swing, the sand leaving the bob could exert a force on the bob. Provided that this force is negligible and also, provided the mass of the bob (with or without the sand) is large compared with the rest of the pendulum, the time period should not be affected.
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 length of the pendulum effect the pendulum?
The longer the length of the pendulum, the longer the time taken for the pendulum to complete 1 oscillation.
