If this is a homework assignment, please consider trying to answer it yourself first, otherwise the value of the reinforcement of the lesson offered by the assignment will be lost on you.
The period of a pendulum increases as it length increases because the verticle distance the bob travels is less, and thus there is less potential energy available to accelerate the bob in its arc. Also, recall that in vector mechanics the horizontal force vector due to gravity is a function of the direction the object is constrained to follow, and if the pendulum is longer, that direction is more horizontal, giving the horizontal force vector less of an effect.

What is the length of a pendulum with a period of 4.48ses?
The equation for the length, L, of a pendulum of time period, T, is gievn byL = g(T2/4?2),where g is the acceleration due to gravity. So, for a pendulum of time period 4.48 sec, the length of the pendulum is 4.99 metres (3 s.f).
If a frequency of a wave increases what will happen?
Increase decrease. The frequency MUST decrease.
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
What happens to period when frequency increase?
Time period = 1 / frequency. Frequency = 1 / time period. When frequency increases, the period decrises.
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 can you increase the period of a pendulum?
Increase the length of the pendulum
What increases the period of a pendulum?
Making the length of the pendulum longer. Also, reducing gravitation (that is, using the pendulum on a low-gravity world would also increase the period).
How do the parameters of a simple pendulum affect the period of a pendulum?
The period increases as the square root of the length.
How does the height of pendulum affect momentum of the lump of clay?
As the length of a pendulum increase the time period increases whereby its speed decreases and thus the momentum decrease.
Cloud the pendulum be changed to increase the period of the pendulum?
Yes. You can increase the period by moving the pendulum to a location where the gravitational force is weaker.Alternatively, you can increase the effective length of the pendulum. The pendulum may be of fixed length, but you can still increase its effective length by adding mass to any point below its centre of gravity.Yes.

What happens to the period of a simple pendulum if the pendulum length is doubled?
The period increases - by a factor of sqrt(2).
Why does a clock run slower in summer?
time period of a pendulum is given by;T=22/7(l/g)^1/2 where l is length of a pendulum i.e; time period is directly proprotional to the square root of length. in summer, length of pendulum increases due to increase in temperature and hence time increases & increases in time means the clock runs faster
What are the effects of thermal expansion on the period of a pendulum?
If the pendulum rod expands, then the length increases, and the period increases. A close approximation for the period is T =~ 2*pi*sqrt(L/g).
When the length of a pendulum increases what will it effect on the time period?
The period is proportional to the square root of the length so if you quadruple the length, the period will double.
What will happern to the pendulum if both the mass and length a increased?
Period of pendulum depends only on its length that too directly and acceleration due to gravity at that place, but inversely But it is independent of the mass of the bob So as length increases its period increases.
If length of simple pendulem increases constantly during osscillation then what is effct on time period?
the period of the pendulum increases with the square root of the length so if the length is four times, the period just doubles.
Does the length of a pendulum affect the period of the pendulum?
Yes, the length of pendulum affects the period. For small swings, the period is approximately 2 pi square-root (L/g), so the period is proportional to the square root of the length. For larger swings, the period increases exponentially as a factor of the swing, but the basic term is the same so, yes, length affects period.
