What would the effect be on the period of the simple pendulum if the pendulum was moved from sea level to the top of a mountain or to the moon or to the sun?
As the force of gravity increases the period would decrease. So shortest period on the sun (if you can keep it intact), then sea level, then mountain top and then moon.
How would the period of a simple Pendulum be charged if the pendulum were moved from sea level to the moon?
The period is not likely to be charged. However, it would change due to the weaker gravitational force on the moon. Since the surface gravity of the moon is 0.165 that of the earth, the period would increase by a multiple of 1/sqrt(0.165) = 2.462 approx.
What is the time period of a pendulum on moon?
... dependent on the length of the pendulum. ... longer than the period of the same pendulum on Earth. Both of these are correct ways of finishing that sentence.
Can you use simple pendulum in moon?
Yes. The period of the pendulum (the time it takes it swing back and forth once) depends on the length of the pendulum, and also on how strong gravity is. The moon is much smaller and less massive than the earth, and as a result, gravity is considerably weaker. This would make the period of a pendulum longer on the moon than the period of the same pendulum would be on earth.
What is the difference in period for a pendulum on earth and a pendulum on moon?
The period of a simple pendulum swinging at a small angle is approximately 2*pi*Sqrt(L/g), where L is the length of the pendulum, and g is acceleration due to gravity. Since gravity on the moon is approximately 1/6 of Earth's gravity, the period of a pendulum on the moon with the same length will be approximately 2.45 times of the same pendulum on the Earth (that's square root of 6).
