Yes.

The derivation of the simple formula for the period of the pendulum requires the angle, theta (in radians) to be small so that sin(theta) and theta are approximately equal. There are more exact formulae, though.

What 3 variables that might affect the number of cycles the pendulum makes in 15 seconds?

The length of the pendulum, the angular displacement of the pendulum and the force of gravity. The displacement can have a significant effect if it is not through a small angle.


How does height affect the period of a pendulum?

Height does not affect the period of a pendulum.


Why must a pendulum swing through a small angle?

A pendulum can swing through any angle you want. But because of the mathematical approximations you make when you analyze the motion of the pendulum, your predictions are only accurate for a pendulum with a small arc.


What is the torque acting on the pendulum of length L inclined at an angle?

The pendulum frequency is dependent upon the length of the pendulum. The torque is the turning force of the pendulum.


How does the angle of the bob affect the period of pendullum?

Not at all. The bob passes through all of its possible angles in the space of one period of the pendulum.


Which factor affects the period of the pendulum?

The period of a pendulum is affected by the angle created by the swing of the pendulum, the length of the attachment to the mass, and the weight of the mass on the end of the pendulum.


Does force affect a pendulum?

A pendulum is affected by the force of gravity.


How does the length of a pendulum affect the frequency?

A longer pendulum will have a smaller frequency than a shorter pendulum.


How much time it take if the pendulum is relesed at angle 1.75 degrees instead of 3.5 degrees?

The period of the pendulum is unchanged by the angle of swing. See link.


Conclusion of simple pendulum experiment?

Only the length of the pendulum has an influence on the pendulum's speed, not the mass or angle of it. Although if the pendulum is red it may blow-up depending on its status.


What makes a pendulum swing?

The length ,mass and angle :)


How Does the angle affect the simple pendulum?

By dampening. This can be done by changing the length of the pendulum The period is 2*pi*square root of (L/g), where L is the length of the pendulum and g the acceleration due to gravity. A pendulum clock can be made faster by turning the adjustment screw on the bottom of the bob inward, making the pendulum slightly shorter.
