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.
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.
The amplitude of a pendulum is doubled what does this mean?
The pendulum swings twice as far.
The amplitude of a pendulum is doubled this means?
That if the original amplitude was A then it is now 2*A.
Why degree of amplitude of simple pendulum should not exceed 5?
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.
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!
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

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)
A simple pendulum has a frequency of oscillation f In order to double f the length of the pendulum should be?
decrease by a factor of 4
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
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.
Do simple pendulum vibrates in vacuum?
It does oscillate. We have to use the word 'vibration' if the amplitude of oscillation is very very low. The prong of a fork vibrates. But simply pendulum oscillates.

The amplitude of a pendulum is the distance between its equilibrium point and the farthest point that it reaches during each oscillation.

What is the relationship between a swinging pendulum and a sine curve?
Assuming an idealised pendulum with a small amplitude, both are examples of simple harmonic motion. That is, the second derivative of the curve is directly proportional to its displacement but in the opposite direction. If the amplitude (swing) of the pendulum is large or if the majority of its mass is not oi the "blob" the relationship is only approximate.
