What variable might affect the number of cycles the pendulum makes in fifteen seconds?

The period of the pendulum can be influenced by the local magnitude of gravity, by the length of the string, and by the density of the material in the swinging rod (which influences the effective length).
It's not affected by the weight of the bob, or by how far you pull it to the side before you let it go.

Which variable affect the period of a swinging pendulum?
Since T=2pi*sqrt(l/g) and l is the only variable that effects T that is the period it is the length.
How does height affect the period of a pendulum?
Height does not affect the period of a pendulum.
What variables might affect the number of cycles the pendulum makes in 15 seconds?
Length of the rope, speed at which the pendulum is moving, friction between the rope and the air, the rope and its suspension point, and within the rope itself.
How does the length of a pendulum affect the frequency?
A longer pendulum will have a smaller frequency than a shorter pendulum.
How does the amplitude of a pendulum affect it's swing?
it doesn't
What changes can you make to affect the pendulum so that it can swing more or less swings in 15 seconds?
You can affect the pendulum to move down or up and it will be will might be 11 or 12 seconds because of the length and how you want the pendulum for it to move.
How does the length of a pendulum affect the number of swings in 30 seconds?
If it is a short pendulum, then the leg or whatever you call it has a smaller distance to cover, and therefore can swing faster than a longer pendulum.
Which variable affect the period of a swinging pendulum?
Since T=2pi*sqrt(l/g) and l is the only variable that effects T that is the period it is the length.
What 3 variables that might affect the number of cycles the pendulum makes in 15 seconds?
The length of the pendulum, the angular displacement of the pendulum and the force of gravity. The displacement can have a significant effect if it is not through a small angle.
How does thermal expansion affect the accuracy of the pendulum clock?
the pendulum gets longer ever so slightly and therefore the clock thinks that they are still seconds but they are slightly longer than seconds. This means that gradually it will become slower and slower.
How does height affect the period of a pendulum?
Height does not affect the period of a pendulum.
What variables might affect the number of cycles the pendulum makes in 15 seconds?
Length of the rope, speed at which the pendulum is moving, friction between the rope and the air, the rope and its suspension point, and within the rope itself.
Does force affect a pendulum?
A pendulum is affected by the force of gravity.
How does the length of a pendulum affect the frequency?
A longer pendulum will have a smaller frequency than a shorter pendulum.
How do the parameters of a simple pendulum affect the period of a pendulum?
The period increases as the square root of the length.
Does the height of release affect the swing of a pendulum?
no.
What variables affect the swing of a pendulum?
-- friction in the pivot -- air moving past the pendulum -- the effective length of the pendulum -- the local acceleration of gravity
