Inertia is a massive object's resistance to change. It should be obvious then that mass is directly proportional to how long the pendulum swings before coming to rest, since more mass means harder to stop.
Mathematically, you'll find this dependence on mass in the damping equations of pendulums.

The angle between the string of a pendulum at its equilibrium position and at its maximum displacement is the pendulums?
amplitude
How is a pendulum used in the world today?
Pendulums are often used in clocks to power the gears that move the hands. However, most clocks built today often have pendulums only for show, as those types of clocks are usually inaccurate and require a lot of winding.
What is the period of the pendulum?
The period of a simple pendulum, with very short swings, is approximated byT = 2 pi (L/G)(0.5)More complex pendulums, or pendulums with greater than insignificant swing, have more complex equations, usually to correct for circular error.
Does a short or a long pendulum have a longer period?
The time of swing of a pendulum is T = 2π √ (l/g) where l is the length of the pendulum. As T ∝√l (Time is directly proportional to the square root of l) then, the longer the pendulum, the greater is the period. Therefore longer pendulums have longer periods than shorter pendulums.
How much greater is the inertia of a 1 kg mass to the inertia of a 4 kg mass?
4 times as great
What matter property is related to inertia?
i think the property of matter inertia is related to is its mass.......the more the mass the less will be the inertia.....
How is inertia related to matter?
matter is not related to inertia. Mass is.
How is inertia gravity and a newton related?
newton discovered inertia
What is inertia on which physical quantity does it depend?
Inertia is related to mass.
What property of matter is inertia related?
i think the property of matter inertia is related to is its mass.......the more the mass the less will be the inertia.....
The larger the mass the inertia?
Inertia is directly related to mass. More mass means more inertia.
What is intertia related to?
Inertia is probably related to mass.
Are mass and inertia directly or inversely related?
mass and inertia are the same thing.
What is a swinging pendulum?
All pendulums swing. They wouldn't be pendulums if they didn't.
How is net force and inertia related?
it is not
Is weight of a body is a measure of inertia?
No, a body's inertia is related to its mass and movement. Weight is related to a body's mass in a gravity field without movement.
How is mass related to inertia?
the greater the mass, the greater will be the inertia produced in the body when the force is applied on it.
