The weight on a pendulum is called?
The weight on a pendulum is a 'mass' or a 'bob'.
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 is the bob of a pendulum?
The bob is the weight at the end of the pendulum. For example, in a grandfather clock the ball at the end of the stick is the bob.
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.
What variable effects the frequency of a pendulum?
The color of the weight at the end of the string. (That's the "bob".)

What does a pendulum bob look like?
A bob is the weight on the end of a pendulum. It can take any shape, but is most often depicted as being round.
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.
What is the name of the weight on the end of pendulum?
The normal term is "bob."
Does the size of the bob make a difference in a simple pendulum?
yes the weight of the bob makes difference
Does the period of a pendulum increases if you increase the weight?
In an 'ideal' pendulum ... on paper ... the string that holds the 'bob' has no weight of its own, and ALL of the weight is in the bob. If that's true, then the formulaa for the period doesn't involve the weight of the bob, and it has no effect.In a 'real' pendulum, the string always has some weight of its own. In that case, technically, a heavier bob would move the 'average' center of mass lower, and would technically increase the period of the swing. But unles you're using a piece of steel anchor-cable for a string, the weight of the bob has no noticeable effect on the period.

Rosa's family has a grandfather clock with a pendulum The clock is not keeping time correctly because the pendulum is swinging too quickly What could Rosa do to slow down the pendulum swing?
To slow down a swinging clock pendulum, one must make it longer. In mechanical clocks, the majority of the mass of the pendulum is contained in the "bob" (a disk or weight) usually at the bottom of the pendulum. If you lower the pendulum bob, the pendulum is lengthened and the pendulum runs slower. This is usually done by turning a nut on a threaded portion of the pendulum just below the bob. Make sure the bob drops as you lower the nut or nothing will change. To raise the rate of the pendulum (make it run faster), you just turn the nut the opposite way.
What are bob?
In Britain, it's a slang term for a schilling. In the field of physics, it's the weight at the end of a pendulum.
