Is the period of the pendulum influenced by the point from which it is released?
No Time period, T = 2π √(l/g) π - pi l - lenght of the pendulum g - acceleration due to gravity at the place
How does a pendulums period vary with the length of its mass With Gravitational acceleration?
The length of the pendulum is measured from the pendulum's point of suspension to the center of mass of its bob. Its amplitude is the string's angular displacement from its vertical or its equilibrium position.
When does a pendulum have the most momentum?
When the pendulum is at its lowest point, it has the least potential energy. Therefore, logically, due to conservation of energy, its kinetic energy is at its maximum. Therefore its speed is also at its maximum, as well as its momentum (velocity x mass).
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.
When is a pendulum at equilibrium?
The equilibrium point of a pendulum is when it does not oscillate and is quite stable. It does not count if you interfere with the movement of the pendulum (eg.: by holding it).
