What is the pendulum experiment?

by Rhyley Bryan

What is the pendulum experiment?

The goal of this experiment was to determine the effect of mass and length on the period of oscillation of a simple pendulum. Using a photogate to measure the period, we varied the pendulum mass for a fixed length, and varied the pendulum length for a fixed mass.

What is the conclusion of simple pendulum experiment?

The surprising conclusion – the pendulum traverses a longer distance in a shorter time, than in a shorter distance, and its period is shorter. There are a number of reasons why Galileo thought that the period remains constant. One factor which Galileo failed to consider is friction.

What affects the period of a pendulum lab?

The longer the length of string, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period, or back and forth swing of the pendulum. The greater the amplitude, or angle, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period.)

What would be the method for pendulum experiment?

Clamp is hold on the top of the stand.

  • The rope is fold in two.
  • The pendulous section of the rope is measured and regulated from the top to 10 cm.
  • 15cm from the bottom of the stand to right side is measured.
  • That point is marked with a board marker.
  • The mass of the hook is measured as 20g.
  • The hook is hanged from the rope.

    • What is the simple pendulum experiment?

    A simple pendulum is a typical laboratory experiment in many academic curricula. Students are often asked to evaluate the value of the acceleration due to gravity, g, using the equation for the time period of a pendulum. Rearranging the time period equation,

    What are the disadvantages of simple pendulum?

    The disadvantage of simple pendulum jaw crusher: Swing jaw has idle stroke, low production efficiency. The bottom horizontal stroke is large than that of upper, which does not match the crushing process.

    What is the formula for a pendulum?

    The formula for the pendulum is the 9.8(time/2pi)^2=L. This is in meters and this is for a full swing ( tick and toc ). The length calculated it actually for the effective mass. makes the pendulum seem shorter.
