What factors affect a pendulum?

What factors affect a pendulum?

The only things that affect the period of a simple pendulum are its length and the acceleration due to gravity. The period is completely independent of other factors, such as mass.

Does period of pendulum depend on angle?

The period of a pendulum does not depend on the mass of the ball, but only on the length of the string. With the assumption of small angles, the frequency and period of the pendulum are independent of the initial angular displacement amplitude. A pendulum will have the same period regardless of its initial angle.

What is the purpose of pendulum exercises?

This exercise helps relax the muscles of the shoulder and neck and allows for passive range of motion of the shoulder joint. It’s best for people who have a difficult time with the standing exercise due to balance or back pain.

How often should I do pendulum exercises?

How do you get the answers from a pendulum?

To establish this quickly, hold the pendulum 6 – 8 inches above the palm of your hand. Begin to ask simple yes/no questions that you know the answers to and see what the responses are. I like to say “My name is…” Take note of what happens for each response.

Can I use my necklace as a pendulum?
