There are a number of things that affect the pendulum and how it operates. Let's just start setting them down. The mass of the pendulum and its string, cable, rod, or whatever it is that it is suspended from. The length of the suspension cable or rod. The nature of the pivot point from which the suspension is tied, or, more specifically, the friction generated by the pivot. The air resistance to the pendulum and its suspension. The latitude at which it is operated (because a small amount of torque will be applied at anything more than 0o). The nature and loss of the driving mechanism for the continued movement of the pendulum. The temperature of the surrounds of the pendulum and its mechanism.

What affects the period of the pendulum?
of course ... the length of the pendulum ... :) base on our experiment >>>
What affects a pendulum?
The mass of the pendulum, the length of string, and the initial displacement from the rest position.
How kinetic energy affects pendulum?
dk
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.
How earth's rotation affects a pendulum?
A pendulum moves not by Earth's rotation, but by gravity pulling down and causing it to swing.
Does the length of the pendulum affect the number of cycles?
no. it affects the period of the cycles.
Does the length of a pendulum effect how it swings?
Yes, the length of a pendulum affects its swing. The oscillation will be longer with a longer length and shorter with a shorter length.
What factors will cause a pendulum to slow down and eventually stop?
pendulum's slow down during summers because the pendulum expands and it moves faster during winters because the pendulum contracts
What are the factor affecting on the simple pendulum?
The factors that affect a simple pendulum are; length; angular displacement; and mass of the bong.
What are the factors on which the time period of simple pendulum depends?
The length of the pendulum, and the acceleration due to gravity. Despite what many people believe, the mass has nothing to do with the period of a pendulum.
What are the factors affecting the time period of a simple pendulum?
Friction is just resistance to movement due to sliding surfaces or to air flow. For a pendulum it will be due to two things: one the resistance in its support bearing, the other to the air resistance of the pendulum itself. Thus energy is gradually lost and the pendulum will eventually come to rest unless it gets a little kick as required, this is supplied in an old clockwork mechanism by the spring which you wind up every week or whatever.
Does length of the pendulum affect its period?
Technically and mathematically, the length is the onlything that affects its period.
