Pisa “To what extent does the length of the string affect the period of a simple pendulum?” IBDP PHYSICS Internal Assessment – The Simple Pendulum 9 INTRODUCTION The original aim for this invesigation was to “investigate the simple pendulum”. There are many variables one could look into‚ such as displacement‚ angle‚ damping‚ mass of the bob etc. The most interesting variable‚ however‚ is the length of the swinging pendulum. The relationship between the length and the time for one swing (the period)

Introduction: Aim: To find the relationship between the length of a simple pendulum and the period of oscillation. Research question: How does the string length of the pendulum affect the period of oscillation? Prediction: The longer the string‚ the longer it will take to make one complete oscillation. Variables: Independent variable: Length (L). Dependent variable: Period of oscillation (T). Controlled variable: Mass of the plasticine. Tools & Materials: Stopwatch. Ruler. String. Plasticine

PCS125 Lab – The Simple Pendulum Objective and Background Objective: The Objective of this experiment is to examine the simple harmonic motion and to determine the value of the acceleration due to gravity from the analysis of the period of the simple pendulum. [1] Background: There are three equations that will be used to calculate the period of motion of the simple pendulum. They are the slope of the line of the graph of T² against L‚ and the gravity of the pendulum motion. The period of

Simple Pendulum PURPOSE The purpose of this experiment is to study how the period of a pendulum depends on length‚ mass‚ and amplitude of the swing. THEORY A simple pendulum is an idealized model consisting of a point mass (sometimes called a pendulum bob) suspended by a massless unstretchable string. When the bob is pulled to one side of its straight down equilibrium position and released‚ it oscillates about the equilibrium position. The path of the bob is not a straight line but an arc

Goals The purpose of the lab experiment is to explore simple harmonic motion (SHM). We will accomplish this through the validation of harmonic calculations and ultimately creating a time piece (oscillator) Method In part A (Simple Pendulum) we will measure the effects of mass on the period of the pendulum. We will also calculate the period using small angular displacements and compare the results. We will also explore the effects on the period when the angular displacement is not “very small”

Introduction In this lab we had to design a system that would test if changing the mass‚ angle of release and length would have any effect on the period of a pendulum. Hypothesis As the length‚ mass and angle of release change‚ the period (T) will change for each one of these factors.

Mariel EXPERIMENT No. 2 The Simple Pendulum Abstract A simple pendulum is one which can be considered to be a point mass suspended from a string or rod of negligible mass and allowing it to sway back and forth in a place. The objective of this experiment is to observe the motion of a simple pendulum‚ study simple harmonic motion‚ determine some factors that affect the period of a pendulum‚ and measure the value of acceleration due to gravity by use of a simple pendulum. The materials used were inelastic

A THE SIMPLE PENDULUM • General Background: A mass m hanging from a string whose length is L and a pivot point on which this mass is fixed are what a simple pendulum (which was discovered during the 10th century by Ibn Yusuf) consists of. During the 17th century‚ it is developed by some physicist‚ especially by Galileo. When the mass hanging from the string is released with an initial angle‚ it starts to move with a periodic motion. The motion can be approximated as a simple harmonic

EXPERIMENT 2 Measurement of g: Use of a simple pendulum OBJECTIVE: To measure the acceleration due to gravity using a simple pendulum. Textbook reference: pp10-15 INTRODUCTION: Many things in nature wiggle in a periodic fashion. That is‚ they vibrate. One such example is a simple pendulum. If we suspend a mass at the end of a piece of string‚ we have a simple pendulum. Here‚ the to and fro motion represents a periodic motion used in times past to control the motion of grandfather and cuckoo
