Best Answer

wind resistance cannot be ignored in considering a simple pendulum. The wind resistance will be proportional to a higher power of the velocity of the pendulum. A small arc of the pendulum will lessen this effect.

You could demonstrate this effect for yourself. A piece of paper attached to the pendulum will add to the wind resistance, and you can measure the period both with and without the paper.

The lenth of second's pendulum of the earth is about 1 m What should be the length of second's pendulum on the moon?

If the length of the second pendulum of the earth is about 1 meter, the length of the second pendulum should be between 0.3 and 0.5 meters.


Can an ideal simple pendulum realize?

no we cannot realize an ideal simple pendulum because for this the string should be weightless and inextendible.


Should demodulated output ideally depend on carrier amplitude?

In an AM system, definitely. In any other system, amplitude variations are intentionally ironed out, by hard limiting, before demodulation.


What is the motion of a pendulum in water?

The motion of a pendulum in water will be similar to what it is in air, except it will move more slowly and loose energy much more rapidly (unless something with some "power" is keeping it going). The speed of the pendulum should graph like a sine wave with the peaks and troughs denoting the endpoints of the travel of the pendulum in its arc. The slope of the curve at any point will represent the instantaneous acceleration. If the pendulum is released and no energy is put in from outside, the graph of the speed will diminish very quickly and dramatically.


How does a pendulum bob filled with sand and a hole at bottom affect the time period?

At the extremities of the pendulum's swing, the sand leaving the bob could exert a force on the bob. Provided that this force is negligible and also, provided the mass of the bob (with or without the sand) is large compared with the rest of the pendulum, the time period should not be affected.

What are the precautions while finding the time of a simple pendulum?

The precautions are:Fans must be switched off.The amplitude of vibration should not exceed 5 cm.Time should be noted carefully.


Would you keep the amplitude of simple pendulum small or large?

we should keep the amplitude of simple pendulum small because we have to make a very small angle so that we can neglecting value of sin


Why you should keep the amplitude of simple pendulum small?

Because a larger angle will exacerbate the dampening effect. The dampening effect is an effect that tends to reduce the amplitude of any oscillations. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damping

What is the amplitude of an X ray?

There is no specific amplitude for each type of wave. You should consider the amplitude to be the loudness of the wave for example the louder the sound the larger the amplitude.

Why does jendrassik's manoeuvre alter the amplitude of the reflex response?

It increases the reflex, as the subject is distracted by performing the manoeuvre and is said to prevent conscious anticipation of the reflex. Generally it should cause an increase in the duration and the magnitude of the reflex.


Does the intensity of a wave increases when its amplitude decrease?

Intensity of a wave is proportional to the square of its amlitude so it should decrese when the amplitude is decreased.
