On the moon acceleration due to gravity is 1/6th of Earth and Time Period is inversely proportional to under-root of acceleration due to gravity therefore pendulum will oscillate faster on moon and will not come to rest due to absence of air

Differences between compound pendulum and simple pendulum?

Compound pendulum is a physical pendulum whereas a simple pendulum is ideal pendulum. The difference is that in simple pendulum centre of mass and centre of oscillation are at the same distance.


What happen to the time period if its lenght of the pendulum is changed?

The time period of a pendulum is directly proportional to the square root of its length. If the length of the pendulum is increased, the time period will also increase. Conversely, if the length is decreased, the time period will decrease.


What are the precautions to b taken while doing simple pendulum experiment?

Some precautions to take while doing a simple pendulum experiment include ensuring the pendulum is hung securely, keeping the amplitude of the swing small to avoid instability, taking measurements at the center of mass of the bob, minimizing air resistance by using a thin string, and ensuring the angle of release is consistent for accurate results.


What time does the pendulum take for one swing?

The time it takes for a pendulum to complete one full swing is determined by the length of the pendulum and the acceleration due to gravity. The formula for the period of a pendulum is T = 2π√(l/g), where T is the period, l is the length of the pendulum, and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Typically, a pendulum with a length of 1 meter will take about 2 seconds to complete one swing.


What is the scientific theory of a pendulum?

The theory of a simple pendulum refers to a relatively huge object hanging vertically by a string from a fixed place and moving in a back and forth motion when displaced. The movement of the huge object or pendulum bob is repetitive and regular.

What are the disadvantages of simple pendulum?

The simple pendulum model does not take into account some factors that affect actual pendulums. It is a close approximation in many cases. The formulas are much simpler than the formulas for the actual motion of the pendulum. That's why it's called simple. But if the 'swinging angle' is too large the simpler formulas are no longer accurate. Also if the rod, which the pendulum is suspended on, has too large a mass in relation to the pendulum weight, then the simple formulas won't work.

When do solar eclipses take place?

A solar eclipse can only happen at new moon - but they don't happen at every new moon.


If the length of a pendulum is increased by 4 times whose time period is 2 sec what will happen to the time period?

the longer you make the pendulum arm the longer it will take to perform its swing,the same thing would happen if you only increased the weight on the end of the arm.

Why you cannot take time period of simple pendulum as a standard time period?

Because length of the pendulum which is equal to distance between the point of suspension and g is the gravitational acceleration and a body repeats its to and fro motion in equal interval of time that's why we cant take standard time period.

If pendulum is made to swing in water compare the time taken for this pendulum to come to a complete stop with the time taken by a pendulum swinging in air?

The pendulum will take more time in air to stop completely in comparision with water

What is a pendulum in science?

A pendulum is a piece of string attached to a 20 g mass that if you double the length it will take twice as long to swing.
