The period of a simple pendulum is independent of the mass of the bob. Keep in mind that the size of the bob does affect the length of the pendulum.

What happens to the period of a simple pendulum if the pendulum length is doubled?
The period increases - by a factor of sqrt(2).
What happens to the period of a pendulum if you increase its mass?
The mass has no significant effect on the period.
What effect does shortening the length of the pendulum have on the period of the pendulum?
A shorter pendulum has a shorter period. A longer pendulum has a longer period.
What happens to the period of a pendulum when the mass is doubled?
Nothing, unless the centre of mass is changed, thereby altering the length of the pendulum.
How does the period of a pendulum change for length?
A longer pendulum has a longer period. A more massive pendulum has a longer period.
How would the time period of a simple pendulum clock be affected if it were on the moon instead of the earth?
The time period of a pendulum would increases it the pendulum were on the moon instead of the earth. The period of a simple pendulum is equal to 2*pi*√(L/g), where g is acceleration due to gravity. As gravity decreases, g decreases. Since the value of g would be smaller on the moon, the period of the pendulum would increase. The value of g on Earth is 9.8 m/s2, whereas the value of g on the moon is 1.624 m/s2. This makes the period of a pendulum on the moon about 2.47 times longer than the period would be on Earth.
What happens tothe period of simple pendulum if its length is doubled?
The longer the length the slower the swing, as the pendulum head has to cover a long arc.
How does length effect the period of a pendulum?
A longer pendulum has a longer period.
How does height affect the period of a pendulum?
Height does not affect the period of a 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.
What is the period of a pendulum?
The time of a back and forth swings is called period of a pendulum.
How can you increase the period of a pendulum?
Increase the length of the pendulum
