Question

Design an activity to show that a slight change, in the initial displacement bob, does not affect the time period of a simple pendulum.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The period of a pendulum is determined by its length and, to a lesser extent, by its weight distribution (the moment of inertia about its own centre of mass) and the amplitude (width) of its swing. Its length at normal gravity is 0.994 m.

Explanation:

• A simple pendulum is based on energy conservation, which implies that if we make a slight modification in the displacement of a simple pendulum, it will not affect the pendulum.
• The period of a pendulum is determined only by the length of the string, not by the mass of the ball. The period of two pendulas with different masses but the same length will be the same.
• Two pendulums of varying lengths will have distinct periods; the pendulum with the longer string will have the longer period.
