Time period of simple pendulum is three seconds the same pendulum taken at the moon - what will be its new time period?

This pendulum, which is 2.24m in length, would have a period of 7.36 seconds on the moon.


What would be the period of a pendulum with the length of 10 meters?

For a simple pendulum: Period = 6.3437 (rounded) seconds


What is the period of a pendulum that takes 3 seconds to move forward and another 3 seconds to come back'?

The period is the time taken to complete one cycle. In this case it would be three seconds. The frequency of the swing is the inverse of the period. 1/3Hz


A wave frequency of 10 Hertz would correspond to a period of?

since the period is the reciprocal of frequency, the period is 1/10 seconds.


If a pendulum swings back and forth in 3 seconds what is its frequency?

That would be 1/3 SPS (swings per second)


A wave frequency of 10 hertz would correspond to a period of how many seconds?

0.1 seconds


Which of these pendulums would have the greatest length measured in meters a pendulum with a period of 2 seconds or a pendulum with a period of 1.5 seconds?

It doesn't matter what unit you use to measure the physical length of the pendulum. As a matter of fact, it doesn't matter what unit you use to measure the duration of its period either. If both are at rest on the same planet, then the penduum with the longer string has the longer period. Period!


A pendulum has a period on the earth of 1.35 s What is its period on the surface of the moon where g equals 1.62 meters per second squared?

This pendulum has a length of 0.45 meters. On the surface of the moon, its period would be 3.31 seconds where g = 1.62m/s^2


What is the length of simple pendulum when it ticks seconds?

known to be seconds pendulum,the length would be almost 1m when acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s2


What is the length of simple pendulum which ticks seconds?

What you want is a pendulum with a frequency of 1/2 Hz. It swings left for 1 second,then right for 1 second, ticks once in each direction, and completes its cycle in exactly2 seconds.The length of such a pendulum technically depends on the acceleration due to gravityin the place where it's swinging. In fact, pendulum arrangements are used to measurethe local value of gravity.A good representative value for the length of the "seconds pendulum" is 0.994 meter.


What increases the period of a pendulum?

Making the length of the pendulum longer. Also, reducing gravitation (that is, using the pendulum on a low-gravity world would also increase the period).


Does the length of pendulum affect the period of vibration?

Yes. Given a constant for gravity, the period of the pendulum is a function of it's length to the center of mass. In a higher gravity, the period would be shorter for the same length of pendulum.
