Why does mass not affect pendulum period?

Why does mass not affect pendulum period?

The mass of a pendulum’s bob does not affect the period. As mass increases, so does the force on the pendulum, but acceleration remains the same. (It is due to the effect of gravity.) Because acceleration remains the same, so does the time over which the acceleration occurs.

Does mass affect a pendulum?

The period of a pendulum does not depend on the mass of the ball, but only on the length of the string. Two pendula with different masses but the same length will have the same period. Two pendula with different lengths will different periods; the pendulum with the longer string will have the longer period.

How will the time period of simple pendulum change if its length is doubled?

Thus, the time period of the simple pendulum increases by a factor of √2.

What will be the time period of the second pendulum?

A seconds pendulum is a pendulum whose period is precisely two seconds; one second for a swing in one direction and one second for the return swing, a frequency of 0.5 Hz.

Why in SHM The acceleration is zero when the velocity is greatest?

Answer : In simple harmonic motion (S.H.M.) the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the displacement . Therefore, it is zero when it is at equilibrium position i.e velocity is maximum at that position. Hence, the acceleration is zero at the equilibrium position when the velocity is greatest .

What is the time period of oscillation?

The time for one oscillation is the period T. The number of oscillations per unit time is the frequency f. These quantities are related by f=1T f = 1 T .

What is the time period of a pendulum of length 9.8 m?

Hence, the time period of pendulum is 6.28 seconds.

How much time does the bob of a seconds pendulum take to move from one extreme of its oscillation to the other extreme?

Time period of second’s pendulum is 2s hence the time taken from one extreme to another is half of the time period.

How much time does a 2nd pendulum take to complete 20 oscillations?

40 sec
