How does mass affect pendulum frequency?
It doesn't. Only the length of the pendulum and the strength of the gravitational field alter the period/frequency.
What increaases the frequency of a pendulum?
Length of the pendulum (distance of centroid to pivot) - shorter is faster. Gravitational or acceleration field strength - more is faster.Note: The mass of the pendulum is not a factor.
What is the period of a pedelum?
The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum displaced by a small angle is: T = (2*PI) * SquareRoot(L/g) where T is the period in seconds, L is the length of the string, and g is the gravitional field strength = 9.81 N/Kg. This equation is for a simple pendulum only. A simple pendulum is an idealised pendulum consisting of a point mass at the end of an inextensible, massless, frictionless string. You can use the simple pendulum model for any pendulum whose bob mass is much geater than the length of the string. For a physical (or real) pendulum: T = (2*PI) * SquareRoot( I/(mgr) ) where I is the moment of inertia, m is the mass of the centre of mass, g is the gravitational field strength and r is distance to the pivot from the centre of mass. This equation is for a pendulum whose mass is distributed not just at the bob, but throughout the pendulum. For example, a swinging plank of wood. If the pendulum resembles a point mass on the end of a string, then use the first equation.
How would you determine the value of gravity using a pendulum?
In practice (as opposed to theory) not only the force of gravity from the earth but all matter in the pendulum's vicinity. The drag caused by air on the pendulum shaft and weight, the friction in the suspension, the Coriolis effect...
How does weight affect gravity?
Weight is the force generated by mass when it is in a gravitational field. When a body is outside of a gravitational field, it is weightless but it still has mass.So gravity doesn't exactly affect weight; gravity causes mass to have weight.
How does mass affect pendulum frequency?
It doesn't. Only the length of the pendulum and the strength of the gravitational field alter the period/frequency.
What is the maths of period of pendulum?
For small swings, and a simple pendulum:T = 2 pi root(L/g) where T is the time for one period, L is the length of the pendulum, and g is the strength of the gravitational field.

What is the time period of a pendulum which oscillates 40 times in 4 seconds?
Period of a pendulum (T) in Seconds is: T = 2 * PI * (L/g)1/2 L = Length of Pendulum in Meters g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s2 PI = 3.14 The period is independent of the mass or travel (angle) of the pendulum. The frequency (f) of a pendulum in Hertz is the inverse of the Period. f = 1/T
How does weight affect gravity?
Weight is the force generated by mass when it is in a gravitational field. When a body is outside of a gravitational field, it is weightless but it still has mass.So gravity doesn't exactly affect weight; gravity causes mass to have weight.
What does a gravitatinal field affect?
A gravitational field affects everything that has energy (or mass, but mass is a form of energy). As such it affects virtually everything.
Can gravitational be added to electric field to get the total field?
No. The sum of the gravitational field and the electric field is a useless concept.
What 2 factors would affect how thick a planet's atmosphere is?
The strength of the planet's gravitational field and exposure to solar wind.
Is gravitational potential energy is the same gravitational force?
No. Gravitational force is the pull an object experience from gravity. Gravitational energy is the energy an object has from its position in a gravitational field. An object moving up in a gravitational field gains gravitational energy.
What is Jupiters gravitational field strength?
Jupiters gravitational field strength is 25 Nkg^-1
