Why does a long pendulum string disperse more energy than a shorter string?
funkymunky
Because it has to swish through more air molecules and push them out of the way
on every swing, more than the shorter pendulum would have to do.

How does the period of a pendulum difference theoretically with angular displacement and mass of ball for simple pendulum?
According to the mathematics and physics of the simple pendulum hung on a massless string, neither the mass of the bob nor the angular displacement at the limits of its swing has any influence on the pendulum's period.
How does a yo yo transfer potential energy to kinetic energy and back again as it moves up and down its string?
Before a yo yo is released, it has maximum potential energy and zero kinetic energy. As the yo yo goes down the string, its kinetic energy increases and it potential energy decreases. When the yo yo reaches the bottom of the string it has maximum kinetic energy and zero potential energy. As the yo yo goes back up the string, its kinetic energy decreases and potential energy increases until the yo yo reaches the top of the string, at which point kinetic energy is zero and potential energy is at its maximum.
A bob of mass 200 grams is tied to a string of length 1.25m at one end it revolves as conical pendulum with tie period of 2 sec tension in string is?
The centripetal force is F = nmrώ2, where ώ = 2Π/T and T =2secs. The Tension in the string is therefore found using Pythagoras' in a triangle with F and the weight mg as the 2 sorter sides and Tension as the hypotenuse.

Why should the initial angle of displacement for a simple pendulum be small?
This is done in order to get unbalanced force act on the pendulum. A torque will act due to gravitation of the earth and the tension in the string as they then act at different points and opposite direction on the pendulum. Have the forces act at the same point, the formation of torque would have been ruled out and the pendulum would not swing.
How does the pendulum get affected by the length of string?
The shorter the string - the faster the oscillation.
Does the length of the string matter for a pendulum to go faster?
yes it does because the shorter the string is the faster it will go (:
What is the relationship between the length of the string of a pendulum and the number of swings?
There's no relationship between the length of the pendulum and the number of swings.However, a shorter pendulum has a shorter period, i.e. the swings come more often.So a short pendulum has more swings than a long pendulum has in the same amountof time.
What happens to a pitch if you shorten the string?
The frequency of a pendulum is inversely proportional to the square root of its length. If you want to increase the frequency of a pendulum by a factor of 10, you make it 99% shorter.
Why would changing the length of something change the amount of time for it to swing?
Imagine a pendulum, if you will. The longer a pendulum is, the longer it will take to make a full cycle. The converse is also true; if a pendulum is shorter, it will take less time to make a full cycle. The answer lies in the gravitational potential energy of the system, and the moment of inertia of the pendulum. Given a fixed mass at the end of a string with negligible mass, it is apparent that the longer the string is, the greater its moment of inertia (inertial moment is roughly analogous to the inertia of a stationary object). With only a fixed amount of gravitational potential energy to drive the pendulum, the one with a larger moment of inertia will travel slower.
Is thread have weight?
thread have no weight because string disperse it weight across distance, energy - distance!!
What can make the pendulum swing faster?
By shorten the string of the pendulum
When a pendulum swings if it is not continuously pushed it will stop eventually stop because some of its energy is changed into what energy?
It simply loses energy. There is no changing of energy. It is not changed into potential energy, because it has no potential to move anywhere. Potential energy is, for example, bringing a pendulum to close to its apex and typing it there with a string.
What can you make with a penny and string?
pendulum
What energy occur as a pendulum swings?
There is Mechanical Energy. This Mechanical Energy equals Potential + Kinetic Energies. At the maximum heigh and with the pendulum set still there is the maximum Potential Energy (so Kinetic equals 0, and Potential Energy equals Mechanical Energy). When we release the pendulum this Potential Energy transforms into Kinetic Energy which will be maximum and equal to the Mechanical Energy when the 'rope' or 'string' that holds the pendulum is in the same direction as the acceleration, or force, in this case gravity. Then, and if there is no friction (e.g. air) the pendulum will reach the same maximum heigh that it had in X0 and the Kinetic Energy will transform into Potential, reinitiating the process but in the opposite direction. Hope i helped and sorry for my english. :)
What are the parts of a pendulum?
There are three parts to a pendulum. The bearing, the bob, and the string or wire supportig it.
What affects a pendulum?
The mass of the pendulum, the length of string, and the initial displacement from the rest position.
