The amplitude of a pendulum is doubled this means?
That if the original amplitude was A then it is now 2*A.
The amplitude of the pendulum?
The amplitude of a pendulum is the distance between its equilibrium point and the farthest point that it reaches during each oscillation.
How does the amplitude of the pendulum affect the pendulum?
It messes up the math. For large amplitude swings, the simple relation that the period of a pendulum is directly proportional to the square root of the length of the pendulum (only, assuming constant gravity) no longer holds. Specifically, the period increases with increasing amplitude.
Why does the amplitude of a simple pendulum decrease?
Air resistance against the bob and string and friction in the pivot make the amplitude of a simple pendulum decrease.
How does the amplitude of a pendulum affect it's swing?
it doesn't

What will be the effect of time period of a simple pendulum if its mass is doubled and its amplitude is halved?
The PERIOD of a Simple Pendulum is affected by its LENGTH, and NOT by its Mass or the amplitude of its swing. So, in your case, the Period of the Pendulum's swing would remain UNCHANGED!

How does amplitude of a pendulum affect frequency?
it doesnt affect the amplitude as the mass and length remain constant
How does the amplitude of oscillation of a pendulum varies with time?
The change of amplitude affects the time of one cycle of a pendulum if the amplitude is big. In such a case, time increases as amplitude increases. In the case of a small amplitude, the time is very slightly affected by amplitude and is considered negligible.
Why does the period of a pendulum not depend on the amplitude?
Actually, the period of a pendulum does depend slightly on the amplitude. But at low amplitudes, it almost doesn't depend on the amplitude at all. This is related to the fact that in such a case, the restoring force - the force that pulls the pendulum back to its center position - is proportional to the displacement. That is, if the pendulum moves away further, the restoring force will also be greater.
What is the mean position of the pendulum?
The time it takes a pendulum to complete one full cycle from one side to the other and back again is called its period. The angular distance swept by a pendulum as it swings from one side to the other is called its amplitude.
What happens to the period of a simple pendulum if the pendulum length is doubled?
The period increases - by a factor of sqrt(2).
Does amplitude effect the period of a pendulum?
no it doesnt affect the period of pendulum. the formulea that we know for simple pendulum is T = 2pie root (L/g)
