WHAT IS the term for the mass at the end of a pendulum?

The mass at the end of the pendulum is the bob


Which factor affects the period of the pendulum?

The period of a pendulum is affected by the angle created by the swing of the pendulum, the length of the attachment to the mass, and the weight of the mass on the end of the pendulum.


Why do you place the heavy mass at one end in a katers pendulum?

to shift the centre of gravity of the pendulum to one end only


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.


What factors affect the period of a pendulum?

In a simple pendulum, with its entire mass concentrated at the end of a string, the period depends on the distance of the mass from the pivot point. A physical pendulum's period is affected by the distance of the centre-of-gravity of the pendulum arm to the pivot point, its mass and its moment of inertia about the pivot point. In real life the pendulum period can also be affected by air resistance, temperature changes etc.


Value of g by simple pendulum?

You can build a simple pendulum - one that has most of its mass concentrated in a small place, at the end of the pendulum. Measure the pendulum's length, and measure how long it takes to go back and forth. Use the formula for the period of a pendulum, solving for "g".


How does the mass of a pendulum effect the speed it goes?

As long as the mass on the end is much greater than the mass of the string it's hanging from, the mass has no effect at all on the speed or the period.


What is a pendulum bob?

The bob is the weight on the end of the pendulum.


How Can a compound pendulum be treated as a simple pendulum?

the period T of a rigid-body compound pendulum for small angles is given byT=2π√I/mgRwhere I is the moment of inertia of the pendulum about the pivot point, m is the mass of the pendulum, and R is the distance between the pivot point and the center of mass of the pendulum.For example, for a pendulum made of a rigid uniform rod of length L pivoted at its end, I = (1/3)mL2. The center of mass is located in the center of the rod, so R = L/2. Substituting these values into the above equation gives T = 2π√2L/3g. This shows that a rigid rod pendulum has the same period as a simple pendulum of 2/3 its length.


Does the pendulum had energy before you let go of the mass?

Yes, the pendulum has potential energy if you hold it at one end of its swing. If released, the pendulum starts to oscillate. During each cycle the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy and back again - twice.


When a pendulum reaches the end of its swing' the energy within the pendulum is of what sort?

What are difference between simple pendulum and compound pendulum?

A simple pendulum has one piece that swings. A complex pendulum has at least two swinging parts, attached end to end. A simple pendulum is extremely predictable, while a complex pendulum is virtually impossible to accurately predict.
